Summary Since the birth of cinema over a century ago, in Mexico there were attempts to prevent the loss or destruction of film materials, anticipating its invaluable testimony. By the mid-20th Century, after several failed attempts, the government assumed the protection of the nation's film heritage, so in 1974 the National Film Archives was created, whose fruitful but short life ended with a dramatic fire at their facilities located at Churubusco, where much of our country's film heritage was lost. It was soon replaced with a new building at Xoco, but over time, its technological backwardness and lack of adequate space for attendants, led the Mexican government into an ambitious project: to build the Mexican Cinematheque of 21st Century, the world's largest of its kind, and one of the most advanced systems for restoration, protection and projection of our film heritage.
