FIAF
NFAJ has been a member of the International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF) since 1989, and through close coordination and cooperation with its member institutions we have collected precious Japanese films scattered outside of Japan. Also, we conduct international cultural exchange by loaning and borrowing materials from each other’s collections, as well as holding international symposia and lectures on motion pictures.
