Even home movies are a valuable testimony and part of film culture. They capture historical milestones and everyday realities. If you choose to donate your film materials to us, we will digitize them for you so that you can more easily watch them and share them with your loved ones.

What can you donate?
We are also actively expanding the collection by processing the personal fonds of Czech cinema personalities and other donations. Do you have film materials from creative relatives? Are you involved in amateur film yourself or are you unsure what films you actually have in your attic? We are happy to take a look at everything.
I have home and amateur movies and I want to give them to you.
Every year in October, we hold a fundraising event at the Ponrepo Cinema to celebrate Home Movie Day. You can bring your films there.
Or any time of the year! Just give us a call.
I have film reels. What about them?
We are interested in any kind of film material - big, small, narrow, wide - as long as it contains interesting and unique content. If you find film material with such potential, get in touch and we will be happy to take a look and advise you on what to do next.
Maybe your material will become part of the collection of home movies.
Get back to us. We will discuss everything with you and advise you on what to do next.
Film-related documents from the field of cinematography please also join us!
Do you have an original sketch, poster, storyboard? Or another document that could serve as a source of knowledge when researching Czech cinema? We will be happy to process, store and make it available for research.
Write to us. We will guide you through all the formalities and answer any questions you may have.
