Lights, camera, cultural connection! The China Film Archive (CFA) isn't just a treasure trove of cinematic history—it's become a dynamic crossroads for global film lovers. As China's national-level film institution, this digital-age ark preserves over 100,000 classic films while hosting international collaborations that would make your Netflix queue jealous.
More Than Old Reels
From painstaking 4K restorations of martial arts classics to academic exchanges with Hollywood studios, the CFA serves as both curator and connector. Recent partnerships with France's Cinémathèque and Japan's National Film Archive have brought rare international screenings to Chinese audiences.
Why It Matters Now
As streaming wars rage, the CFA reminds us that film preservation is cultural diplomacy. Their annual 'Silent Films Live' series pairs vintage Chinese cinema with live orchestral scores—and it's scoring big with Gen Z audiences worldwide through virtual screenings.
