This cycle also captures the value of analog support, combining celluloid projections with the digital format.The phrase classic = modern is taken from Jean-Luc Godard's Bande a parte (1964), which combines two words that are used in contrast and form the paradigm of cinema as art.

"What is considered a classic today was contemporary and even subversive at the time, paving the way for current productions through the techniques, characters or stories it told. Likewise, everything new automatically becomes tradition as long as it leaves the mark of artistic creation", they explain at the center.

Zinemateka de Bilbao began its journey in January 1983 at the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum."It was born with the aim of spreading the cinematographic culture of the past and present by distributing films that are unknown or difficult to access to the public. And always in the original version that appreciates the importance of the voice in the interpretation," said José Julián Baquedano.
