It is a network of more than 60 members between film archives, private scholars and film curators that hold or manage film collections and facilitate access to these holdings for researchers. In 2022 different countries like Austria, France, the UK, Italy, Luxembourg, Monaco, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic are represented in the membership. Every year members meet at a local archive in order to exchange best practice, share knowledge and research, or to discover films or exhibitions that feature amateur footage.

The Pathé Baby 9.5mm film centenary has multiple strands: a selection of 100 short films from members’ collections entitled ‘100 years – 100 films’, an inventory of 9.5mm films in members’ collections, a series of symposia and seminars, a web resource dedicated to the 9.5 mm gauge, and a feature-length montage of 9.5mm films.

The Conservatory’s School of Electronic Music was founded in 1971 by pioneer Gianfelice Fugazza: the great development that it has been experiencing over the last ten years therefore has its roots far back in time, also cemented by the presence (from 1992 to 2021) of composer Lelio Camilleri, promoter of the transformation of the old course structure into the current five training profiles with a strong creative orientation (Three-year BA Programs in Electronic and Applied Music, Two-year BA Programs in Sound Design, Electroacoustic Improvisation and Music for Film), attended today by over one hundred students.

The International Master in Composition for Screen (InMICS) is a joint master’s degree programme dedicated to international students wishing to work as composers for audiovisual media.
