What is a modern film museum? How, in the complex 21st century, can it be opened up to audiences? What is a cin\u00e9math\u00e8que for a society captivated by the contemporary and by everything still to come? For almost a hundred years, the Cin\u00e9math\u00e8que fran\u00e7aise has been the standard-bearer of film archiving, research and demonstration \u2013 founded in 1936 by French film visionaries Henri Langlois, Georges Franju and Jean Mitry.<\/p>\n
RIGA IFF, together with the National Film School of the Latvian Academy of Culture and the Latvian Film Museum, is honoured to collaborate with the Cin\u00e9math\u00e8que fran\u00e7aise and invite audiences to a guest lecture by \u00c9milie Cauquy, Head of Film Access and Promotion. In her talk, Cauquy will address strategies for promoting film heritage, explain the concept of the cin\u00e9math\u00e8que, and discuss the challenges of audience engagement.<\/p>\n
Cauquy is an experienced professional in the distribution and promotion of the film heritage amassed at Cin\u00e9math\u00e8que fran\u00e7aise and in shaping the concept of the modern cin\u00e9math\u00e8que, as well as in developing programmes and retrospectives dedicated to the classics of French film. She currently runs the Cin\u00e9math\u00e8que VOD platform Henri, dedicated to Henri Langlois. With this new platform, both Cauquy and the Cin\u00e9math\u00e8que hope it will serve as a synonym for the past, present \u2013 and, without doubt, the future of French film.<\/p>\n","categories":null,"tags":null,"featured_image":null,"featured_image_id":null,"vertical":null,"horizontal":null,"vertical_compr":false,"horizontal_compr":false,"overlay_image":false,"overlay_image_svg_lv":false,"background_image":{"ID":41667,"id":41667,"title":"Harmonies de Paris_5","filename":"Harmonies-de-Paris_5.jpg","filesize":967635,"url":"https:\/\/rigaiff.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Harmonies-de-Paris_5.jpg","link":"https:\/\/rigaiff.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Harmonies-de-Paris_5.jpg","alt":"","author":"21","description":"","caption":"","name":"2c8793bab6bb4c71aa6f5a493fa362e1","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":41644,"date":"2025-07-29 07:57:44","modified":"2025-07-29 07:57:44","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/rigaiff.lv\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":2020,"height":1445,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/rigaiff.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Harmonies-de-Paris_5-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/rigaiff.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Harmonies-de-Paris_5-250x179.jpg","medium-width":250,"medium-height":179,"medium_large":"https:\/\/rigaiff.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Harmonies-de-Paris_5-768x549.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":549,"large":"https:\/\/rigaiff.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Harmonies-de-Paris_5-1500x1073.jpg","large-width":900,"large-height":644,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/rigaiff.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Harmonies-de-Paris_5-1536x1099.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1099,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/rigaiff.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Harmonies-de-Paris_5.jpg","2048x2048-width":2020,"2048x2048-height":1445,"large1200":"https:\/\/rigaiff.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Harmonies-de-Paris_5-1200x858.jpg","large1200-width":1200,"large1200-height":858,"large1800":"https:\/\/rigaiff.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Harmonies-de-Paris_5-1800x1288.jpg","large1800-width":1800,"large1800-height":1288,"small":"https:\/\/rigaiff.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Harmonies-de-Paris_5-120x86.jpg","small-width":120,"small-height":86,"uncompressed":"https:\/\/rigaiff.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Harmonies-de-Paris_5.jpg","uncompressed-width":2020,"uncompressed-height":1445,"custom-size":"https:\/\/rigaiff.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Harmonies-de-Paris_5-700x200.jpg","custom-size-width":700,"custom-size-height":200},"acf_attachment":false},"copyright":"","screenings_merged":[{"month":"october","date":"20","end_date":"","time":"16:00","time_end":"17:30","venue_url_languages":[{"type":"buy","sold_out":false,"closed":false,"free":true,"soon":false,"custom_button_text":"","invitation_only":false,"accreditations_only":false,"guest_accreditations_only":false,"guest_notice_with_icon":"","venue":"","custom_venue_text":"Pavillion of the National Film School of the Latvian Academy of Culture","url":"","bilesu_servisa_id":"","custom_tickets_url":"","apply_url":"","subtitle_language":[],"closed_captions_language":[],"audio_description_language":[],"audio_language":[]}],"tags":false,"event_post_title":"Lecture by \u00c9milie Cauquy.
