ACE is a regional branch of FIAF Fédération Internationale des Archives du Film]/ International Federation of Film Archives. ACE members are non-profit institutions committed to the FIAF Code of Ethics. ==History== European film archives have been collecting, preserving, and restoring films and other materials relating to films since as early as the 1930s. The collections range from pre-cinema apparatus to digital cinema files, all of which require specific methods, techniques and an extensive knowledge of film history for preservation. In 1991, representatives of the most important European film archives came together to create LUMIERE, a pan-European film restoration project.〔Bundesarchiv / Filmarchiv (Berlin, Koblenz), Münchner Stadtmuseum/Filmmuseum (Munich), Stiftung Deutsche Kinemathek (Berlin), National Film and Television Archive (London), Cinémathèque Royale de Belgique (Brussels), Centre National du Cinéma (Bois d’Arcy), Cinémathèque Française (Paris), Cineteca del Comune di Bologna (Bologna), The Nederlands Filmmuseum (Amsterdam), Cinemateca Portugesa (Lissbon).〕 It was also the first large scale film restoration project funded by the MEDIA I Programme of the European Community. The LUMIERE project lasted between 1991 and 1996, during which more than 1000 film titles were preserved and restored, 700 films re-discovered and identified and a Joint European Filmography (JEF) was established.〔Catherine A Surowiec () / The Lumiere Project; The European Film Archives at the Crossroads, Lisbon, 1996〕 ACE started in 1991 as the Association des Cinémathèques de la Communauté Européenne (ACCE). After the end of the LUMIERE project in 1996, ACE began its active role in raising awareness of the cultural and economic value of European film heritage among policy makers and the audiovisual industry. Operating on the European level, ACE represents the interest of its members to the European Union. It works to support and improve the economic and legal conditions, as well as technical and scientific research for digitization and long-term film preservation .〔Nicola Mazzanti, Peaceful Fish: Challenges of the Digital Era for Film Heritage Institutions.
