The International Federation of Film Archives

[ Francais ] | [ Español ]

The International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF) brings together institutions dedicated to rescuing films both as cultural heritage and as historical documents. Founded in Paris in 1938, FIAF is a collaborative association of the world's leading film archives whose purpose has always been to ensure the proper preservation and showing of motion pictures. Today, more than 100 archives in over 63 countries collect, restore, and exhibit films and cinema documentation spanning the entire history of film.

In addition to these primary goals, FIAF also seeks:

to promote film culture and facilitate historical research,
to help create new archives around the world,
to foster training and expertise in film preservation,
to encourage the collection and preservation of documents and other cinema-related materials,
to develop cooperation between archives and to ensure the international availability of films and cinema documents.
