The China Film Archive (CFA) is a Chinese film archive located in Beijing that is owned and operated by the Publicity Department of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).[2] It was founded to preserve existing Chinese films and restore ‘lost’ films.[3] In recent years it has collaborated with international film bodies to assist in film preservation and has organised numerous events, most notably the Beijing International Film Festival.[4]
