National Center for Film and Documentaries Introduction
The National Center for Film and Audiovisual Heritage, formerly known as the National Film Center and the National Film Archive, is the only administrative body in Taiwan dedicated to the collection of film and audiovisual assets. It is a formal member of the International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF) with the mission to enhance the collection, research, restoration, and promotion of audiovisual assets, while realizing the public accessibility of these resources.
