伊比利亚当代艺术中心影像档案馆（IFAI）简介

伊比利亚当代艺术中心影像档案馆（IFAI, Independent Film Archive, Iberia）位于北京798艺术区的伊比利亚当代艺术中心内，是一家与官方电影资料馆相平行，专门从事当代中国独立影像的整理、收藏和推广的非盈利性学术机构。 建立这个档案馆，基于我们对中国独立影像所体现出的价值以及所处现状的认知。我们珍视将近二十年的时间里，所有作者付出的努力；我们认为那些作品，体现了一种在社会和现实中生存的个体，意欲自由表达的精神－－对我们来说，这与当代艺术的本质无限接近。面对它们散落民间的现状和近些年来展现出的蓬勃生机，我们希望通过档案馆这样一个平台的建立，更加有效地彰显独立影像的力量，并为其生长环境的改善，做出积极贡献。 本馆下设多媒体图书馆，提供影像作品及相关资料的查询和阅览；后期工作站，支持影像作品的后期制作，发展和参与影像教育及培训项目；除此以外在多功能放映厅，我们还将展开各种主题影展和影像交流活动，以期在沟通的同时，为独立影像拓展出一个更加开阔和丰富的视野。我们还会以定期编辑出版物和建设档案馆网站的形式，对影像作品进行即时的文献式研究和资料梳理。 我们希望以相同的勇气、热情和行动，依据完善的收藏制度，严谨的学术标准和档案方法，展开持续性的工作，以此分享中国独立影像中保存的所有现实，记忆，情感，思考及想像力；并尽其所能，促进中国独立影像社会和文化价值的实现。 Independent Film Archive,Iberia (IFAI) is a non-profit academic institution devoted to sorting, collection, and promotion of contemporary Chinese independent films. It is located inside the Iberia Center for Contemporary Art at 798 Art Zone of Beijing as a parallel to the National Film Archive. This archive is built on the recognition to the intrinsic values embedded in Chinese independent films and their present situation. We cherish the efforts all independent filmmakers have made in nearly two decades. We believe that these works embody the individuals’ spirit of seeking free expression while surviving in social reality. In our view, this infinitely approaches the essence of contemporary art. Despite of the prosperity of independent films in recent years, these works remained uncollected and unrecognized. We hope that the establishment of IFAI can provide a platform to effectively highlight the power of independent films and contribute to a better environment for the growth of independent films. IFAI has a video library housing its main collection of films and pertinent materials available for borrowing. It also has a studio facilitating film post-production and hosting educational and training workshops. IFAI’s media center hosts film exhibitions and communication activities, aiming at building a broader vision for independent films. Additionally, IFAI publishes periodicals and constructs web archives for film studies. Our aim is to share the realities, memories, sentiments, ideas and imaginations preserved in the Chinese independent films. To achieve this goal, we provide sophisticated film collection and archive to meet strict academic criteria. By making consistent efforts with continuous courage, enthusiasm and actions, IFAI will do its best to help Chinese independent films realize their social and cultural values.
