The Royal Belgian Film Archive[1] (French: Cinémathèque Royale de Belgique;[2] Dutch: Koninklijk Belgisch Filmarchief[3]) is a cinematheque located in the Centre for Fine Arts, in Brussels, Belgium.

The cinematheque was established in 1938 as a film archive[1] by Henri Storck, André Thirifays, and Piet Vermeylen.

In 2002 the Film Museum founded by Jacques Ledoux, Constantin Brodzki and Corneille Hannoset was integrated into the archive to become a cinematheque.

[7] The challenges associated with managing the collection were discussed in a 2001 article[7] by Gabrielle Claes who served as director of the archive from 1988 until 2011.

[8][9] CINEMATEK led the organization of the EXPRMNTL film festival which was run four times: 1949, 1958, 1963, 1967, and 1974.
