In June 2017 the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage decided to create a new public institution: "National Film Archive - Audiovisual Institute" [FINA], formed by joining two previously working bodies: the National Film Archive and the Audiovisual Institute. The aim of the new institution was to collect, catalogue and renovate audiovisual heritage of the Polish culture, as well as produce and disseminate the new forms of audiovisual materials. FINA uses the potential and experience of the two institutions: rich content of the National Film Archive's registry and modern methods of digitalization used in the Audiovisual Institute (established only in 2009).
