The Asian Film Archive (AFA) is a non-profit organisation founded in 2005 to save, explore and share the art of Asian Cinema. It has a growing collection of over 2,700 film titles that are available for public reference at the [email protected] and the Lee Kong Chian Reference Library at the National Library Building.
Film preservation allows cinematic treasures to be viewed by future audiences.

The AFA promotes a wider critical appreciation of Asian cinema through specially curated programmes. Within the AFA's collection are the films of award-winning Asian filmmakers like Lav Diaz, U-Wei Haji Saari, Tan Chui Mui, and Singapore filmmakers Eric Khoo and Anthony Chen. AFA is home to the Cathay-Keris Malay Classics Collection, Singapore's only moving image collection inscribed into the UNESCO Memory of the World Asia-Pacific Register that recognises endangered, unique library and archive holdings.

AFA belongs to international networks like the International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF), the Southeast Asia-Pacific Audiovisual Archive Association (SEAPAVAA) and the Association of Moving Image Archivists (AMIA ).
