REPORTS EXECUTIVE + ARTISTIC DIRECTOR’S REPORT The Cinematheque is one of North America’s most active film institutes and plays a vital and unique role in the cultural landscape of Vancouver and British Columbia. We have enjoyed another year of success in providing our community with quality, curated film exhibitions; innovative youth education and outreach programs; and other cinema-related services and resources. Our screening activities in 2016 were dedicated, as always, to showcasing the finest achievements, past and present, of moving images in all their diverse forms. These included retrospectives of significant international filmmakers (Japan’s Seijun Suzuki; Poland’s Andrzej Żuławski); exhibitions of important national cinemas (Irish cinema; independent Chinese film); creative thematic programs (“Shakespeare 400”; “The Cinema of Cruelty”); and ongoing presentations of cinema’s essential masterworks. The year included a notably strong component of works by women filmmakers (including programs devoted to Chantal Akerman, Kelly Reichardt, and Agnès Varda). Canadian cinema, including the achievements of Vancouver and B.C. artists, continued to be a priority. We were pleased, in 2016, to offer a second season of “The Image Before Us: A History of Film in British Columbia,” curated by Emily Carr University’s Harry Killas. The year also saw our firstever presentations of 3-D cinema – and these too were comprised of B.C. and Canadian films. The Cinematheque remains committed to showcasing alternative and experimental forms, through our DIM Cinema series and other programs. Our Education Department continues to do exemplary outreach work in the community, inspiring students with the art and history of cinema; fostering media literacy and critical thinking; and teaching creative filmmaking skills. We have augmented our curatorial team by adding a new Programming Associate position; done important work upgrading storage conditions and inventory systems in our Film Archive; and installed a new, state-of-the-art sound system and new seats in our cinema auditorium. A newly-honed Strategic Plan has captured with great clarity the mission of this organization and the passion that drives it. Our mission: “We are a cultural and educational institution that excites and educates our community about the art, impact, and legacy of cinema and screen-based media.” Our vision: “We envision a society enriched by the understanding and appreciation of cinema as an art form and enlightened by thoughtful education about the impact of moving-image media in our lives.” We at The Cinematheque are grateful beneficiaries of an extensive community of stakeholders – patrons, donors, volunteers, Board members, professional staff, funding agencies, programming partners – who share our love of cinema; our desire to celebrate its rich history and advance originality in its current practice; and our belief in the value of inspiring young and old alike with an appreciation of culture and creative expression. All these supporters play important roles in the organization’s success. It has been a rewarding year!

PRESIDENT’S REPORT
TREASURER’S REPORT
Once again, we have had a very successful and progressive year at The Cinematheque. Over the course of 2016, we presented more than 500 screenings, including retrospectives on Seijun Suzuki, Chantal Akerman, Kelly Reichardt, Agnès Varda, and Andrzej Żuławski.
I am pleased to report that the Pacific Cinémathèque Pacifique Society continues to enjoy steady financial performance, as reflected in the audited financial statements. We ended the fiscal year with a surplus of $5,693, increasing our fund balance to $145,497.
We also screened special series such as Ireland 2016, China Now, By/With/About Fassbinder, and the fantastic Shakespeare 400 and Canada’s Top Ten Film Festival. Our continuing programs — Cinema Sunday, DIM Cinema, Frames of Mind, Film Noir, and the European Union Film Festival — all continue to thrive.
evenues are down 3% or $24,360 from 2015 attributable principally to a R decrease inEducation revenuewhich is in line with the shift initiated in 2015 to smallerscale programs. We have also seen a decrease in expenses by 4% or $32,796. The drop in expenses is primarily attributable to a decrease in Education expenses, tied to the change in Education revenue, and a drop in programming costs.
We once again opened doors to the community through our participation in festivals, including the Vancouver International Film Festival, Vancouver Latin American Film Festival, DOXA Documentary Film Festival, and the Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival.
As in previous years, credit for these results must be given to the management team and staff of The Cinematheque for their continued passion and diligence for the society and its mandate. They continue to enjoy the Board’s full confidence.
We hosted numerous special events throughout the past year, and had many wonderful films introduced or discussed by artists such as Mina Shum, Patricia Rozema, Gwen Haworth, Dale Zalen, Sandy Wilson, Lynne Stopkewich, and Anne Wheeler. The opening of our annual Film Noir series featured a reception with DJs playing vintage jazz records in our courtyard. At another event, Mark Oliver, grandson to one of the producers of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919), introduced a screening of the film that featured live musical accompaniment by the Oliver-Film Ensemble.
Elizabeth Collyer, CPA, CMA Treasurer, Board of Directors
From an administrative perspective, other highlights of the year included the completion of The Cinematheque’s first strategic planning exercise in many years. This exercise has provided a clear direction for the organization to follow for the next several years. From a financial perspective, as you can see by our financial statements The Cinematheque continues to be on a solid financial footing. With this in mind, I would like to express my sincere thanks to Jim Sinclair, our visionary Executive and Artistic Director, and his exceptional and talented leadership team — Kate Ladyshewsky (on maternity leave), Lindsey Wasserman, Shaun Inouye, Liz Schulze, Lizzie Brotherston, Linton Murphy, and Al Reid — for their excellent work. I would also like to thank the rest of the staff and the many volunteers who give their time and energy to help make The Cinematheque one of Vancouver’s cultural jewels. In closing, I would like to express my sincere thanks to Elizabeth Collyer, a member of our Board of Directors for four years and Treasurer for three, for her many contributions, as she steps down from the Board. My sincere thanks also to Lynda Jane, a member of the Board of Directors, who will also be stepping down in 2017 and whose efforts on behalf of The Cinematheque are deeply appreciated. Thank you!

PUBLIC PROGRAMS & SERVICES FILM EXHIBITIONS
WEST COAST FILM ARCHIVES
The Cinematheque is home to one of the largest and most extensive programs of quality, curated film exhibitions in North America. We present over 500 screenings annually, providing audiences with access to significant contemporary and historical achievements of film, and celebrating the richness and diversity of local, national, and international film culture: retrospectives of great directors and important foreign cinemas; new Canadian film; prestigious international touring exhibitions; plus guest appearances, lectures, panel discussions, and more.
The Cinematheque’s Film Archive comprises three different collections of 16mm and 35mm film prints. The West Coast Film Collection is devoted to preserving the heritage of independent filmmaking on Canada’s west coast. Our holdings include a core collection of more than 220 significant B.C. films dating from 1968 to 1978, the period of the first major wave of independent and avant-garde filmmaking in Vancouver. The National Film Board Collection consists of over 800 film titles produced from 1960 to 1985. The Canadian Film Collection includes a number of animated, experimental, and feature films made outside of B.C.
FILM REFERENCE LIBRARY The Film Reference Library is key in promoting the understanding of film and moving-image media and advancing film culture in Vancouver. One of the largest collections of its kind in Western Canada, the library is international in scope, but maintains a special emphasis on Canadian cinema. Holdings include thousands of books and periodicals on a wide array of topics related to the appreciation, production, history, and sociology of film. The library is open to the public and is visited regularly by film studies students.

EDUCATION PROGRAMS AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH The Cinematheque offers award-winning film and media education programs and resources for youths and for educators working in a variety of fields. Through intensive digital filmmaking programs, thought-provoking media literacy workshops, and special film screenings with facilitated discussions, we aim to foster an appreciation and passion for the art of film as well as an understanding of the impact of visual media in the world around us. We are committed to supporting a vibrant and active youth-in-film community across British Columbia, and strive to make our programs accessible to everyone, regardless of income, age, disability, race, or culture.
FILM AND MEDIA LITERACY PROGRAMS •
Sights and Sounds, our in-school digital filmmaking program, instructs participants in the language and process of filmmaking as they create their own videos.
•

•
Youth Screenings Days bring students to The Cinematheque for film screenings, facilitated discussions, and workshops.
•
Professional Development for Educators provides teachers with workshops, seminars, and lectures designed to foster instructional and technical skills in media education and media literacy.
2016 SPECIAL PROJECTS AND NEW INITIATIVES •
Status Update – Presented in collaboration with Surrey’s Learning Centres, and funded by the B.C. Arts Council and Vancouver Foundation, this project encouraged youths to be creative media producers and to engage critically with social media.

EDUCATION PROGRAMS AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH IMPACT POWERFUL FILMMAKING FOR YOUTH AT RISK Many of our programs in 2016 were devoted to youth at risk and designed to highlight the voices and experiences of those often marginalized. These programs included anti-bullying and anti-homophobia projects; work with teens in addictions recovery; and a project with Lil’wat Nation youths in Mount Currie, B.C. It is a priority of our outreach efforts to empower young filmmakers from diverse and challenging backgrounds.
THOUGHTFUL CRITICAL THINKING ABOUT SOCIAL MEDIA Integrating the subject of social media into our media-literacy and criticalthinking programs is more important than ever, and an important priority of the B.C. educators we serve. Social media was a focus of several of our major outreach programs during the year.
SCAFFOLDING MEDIA EDUCATION PROGRAMS While many programs are one-time experiences for students and teachers, our focus this year has been to “scaffold” knowledge through repeated workshops. School-year programs are complemented by our summer Indie Filmmakers Lab, expanding youths’ media-literacy skills over several years, and encouraging them to not only become critical thinkers and thoughtful media producers, but also to use their knowledge to build careers in B.C.’s booming film industry.
