Public Records and Confidentiality
The Film Institute is a foundation and a large part of the activities are financed through state funds and therefore the principle of publicity applies to our operations.
How to submit a request for public records
If you want to request to take part of a public record, you can contact any of our employees or our registrar. Write “Request for public record” in the subject line.
Preserving and archiving records and documents
To secure their longevity and availability to the public the Film Institute is required to preserve and archive public records in a well-structured fashion according to the Archive Act. In addition to our film archival collections, we also archive other records relating to our organization, such as information and documents.
Research services and non-public documents
The library at the Film Institute receives and handles requests for research on materials that have been deposited with or donated to the collections or documents in the Film Institute's non-public archive. Whether or not such a request is approved depends on the extent and content of the records.
Fee for copy of documents
Based on the Fee Regulation (1992: 191), the Film Institute will charge a fee for copies of documents provided through our research service and for copies of requested public records. Documents may be read and transcribed on site at the research services facilities free of charge.
