The Asian Film Archive is a non-governmental organisation founded to preserve the rich film heritage of Singapore and Asian Cinema, to encourage scholarly research on film, and to promote a wider critical appreciation of this art form.
The Archive is the winner of the New Non-Profit Initiative Award at the annual National Volunteers and Philanthropy Awards 2007 (Singapore), which recognises organisations for their originality, sustainability, impact and best practices. The Archive is an affliate of the International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF) and a member of the Southeast Asia-Pacific Audiovisual Archives Association (SEAPAVAA).
As an important nexus, it brings together the various segments of the Asian film community in order to open and enrich new intellectual, educational and creative spaces.
