NFA opened new depository premises for storing film material

Attended by the Minister of Culture Daniel Herman, the governor Central Bohemian Region Jaroslava Jermanová Pokorná and the NFA CEO Michal Bregant, the new depository of the National Film Archive (NFA) saw its opening ceremony.

The new, technologically advanced building, located in the Hradištko municipality in the Central Bohemia Region, will provide a perfect environment for long-term storage of film material. The depository space and its technical equipment ensure the ideal temperature of -5°C and a relative humidity of 35%. These values were chosen as the optimum values for the protection of film materials and for ensuring their service life of up to 400 years.

Our company participated in the depository project, worth CZK 155 million, as the chief designer and the design was prepared by Ing. arch Martin Kotík. The new depository project was funded under the Programme “Care for the National Cultural Treasure” of the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic.
