Five screening halls, a film archive and a run of festivals make the Tel Aviv Cinematheque, also known as the Doron Cinema Center, the city's home for serious filmgoing. A cinematheque is a venue devoted to showing and preserving films, and this one has done both since it opened on 12 May 1973. Wikidata credits its founding to Eliyahu Speiser.
Programming mixes Israeli and foreign films, and the halls sometimes host screenings of new Israeli releases. Festivals held here include TLVFest, the Doc Aviv Documentary Film Festival, Moments of French Cinema and an Australian Film Festival, with support from groups such as the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. Between screenings, the lobby shows photography by Israeli artists, and the cinematheque publishes its own film journal, Cinematheque.
The current building at HaArba'a Street 5 was designed by the Israeli architect Salo Hershman and opened in 1989. It suits visitors who come for the films themselves, from documentaries to international cinema.
