The Archive's duties are the collection, acquisition, preservation, restoration, screening and professional storage of Hungarian features, documentaries, newsreels, animations, popular science films and classics of world cinema.

A major task of the Hungarian National Film Archive is to preserve the values of the surviving Hungarian film culture and to make them available to a broader audience. The Archive has the most extensive film collection in Hungary, approximately 64,000 items. It distributes film copies: some prints are lent for training, clubs and festivals. The library is the largest and only one specialised on film in Hungary, containing over 20,000 books, 4,000 volumes of periodicals, 3,500 scripts and foreign journals. The poster department preserves 53,000 posters and more than 200,000 photographs. The art cinema, Örökmozgó has an unique and exciting programme with a venue for exhibitions, meetings and debates. The institute’s periodical Filmkultúra has been published since 1960 and is now also available online.
