China Film Archive

China Film Archive

The China Film Archive was established in 1958 and is directly under the administration of the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television. It became an official member of the International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF) in 1980. In 1984, it merged with the Film Research Institute of the Literature and Art Research Academy (now the China Arts Research Institute), forming the "China Film Art Research Center" on the original foundation. The China Film Archive is a key public cultural institution in the national radio and television system, the only national professional film archive, and a specialized institution for film theory research and education in China. Over the past half-century, especially in the 30 years since the reform and opening-up, the China Film Archive has achieved remarkable accomplishments in the collection, preservation, research, utilization, and cultural exchange of film archives. It has seen comprehensive and healthy development in multiple fields including film theory and academic research, film publication, film talent cultivation, and international film exchanges. It has become an important base in China for film archive management, artistic research, scientific research and teaching, as well as international exchange, playing a significant role in promoting the development and prosperity of China’s film industry.
