Description of the institution (max 200 characters):

The CNA opened in 1989. Its main object is the preservation of the national audiovisual heritage. Almost the entire national film production, most of which has been restored, as well as the TV film and video production, are kept in its archives. A contract signed between CLT/UFA (RTL Group)  and the CNA entrusts the latter with the progresssive registration, restauration and digitisation of the "RTL Television" archives (film, video and sound). By and by all these documents are being made accessible to the public. For these purposes the CNA can depend on state of the art technical equipment such as photo laboratories, film to video transfer, film and video editing units and a fully equipped sound studio. The CNA also entrusts local photographers and film directors with documentary projects
