Cinema is the great art form of the modern era. Yet, unlike painting, sculpture, and music, it lacks a permanent institutional home among the world's most revered artistic institutions. The Louvre, The Met, The Hermitage—these are temples for humanity’s highest artistic achievements. But where is the temple for cinema?

The Sanctum of Pure Cinema is our answer.

It is a bold initiative to establish a permanent space within the world’s leading art museums for the preservation, curation, and enshrinement of cinema as a high art form. The greatest films in history deserve to be honored as timeless masterpieces, not merely as entertainment or commercial products. Just as the Mona Lisa or Michelangelo’s David are preserved for future generations, so too must the highest works of cinema be given their rightful place.

Despite being over a century old, cinema remains marginalized within the fine arts establishment. Museums have evolved—expanding their reach into digital art, photography, and even NFTs—yet cinema remains an outsider. The time has come for a fundamental shift. The Cinema Sanctum will lead this transformation, ensuring that the greatest films are preserved, honored, and experienced as they were meant to be.

Cinema is at risk of being forgotten as an art form in major institutions. While museums expand into NFTs and digital art, the great works of cinema remain sidelined.

The time to act is now!

To collaborate with major art institutions and patrons to create The Sanctum of Pure Cinema within the world’s leading museums, ensuring that cinema takes its rightful place among the highest art forms of human civilization.

This is only the beginning. We invite critics, curators, patrons, and visionaries to join us in shaping the future of cinema’s legacy. The Sanctum of Pure Cinema must become a reality, and we will make it happen.

This is the moment. Join us in making The Sanctum of Pure Cinema a reality.
