On 27 April 2026, Burkinabé film archivist and festival director Ardiouma Soma was presented with the 2026 FIAF Award by FIAF President Peter Bagrov at the Cinémathèque marocaine in Rabat, during the 2026 FIAF Congress. He is the first African to receive this prestigious accolade.

This award recognizes all that Mr. Soma has achieved during his long career to advance the field of film archiving in Burkina Faso (notably through his commitment to the Cinémathèque africaine de Ouagadougou), and more broadly the preservation and promotion of Africa’s rich film heritage (in particular as Artistic Director and then Director of FESPACO, the largest film festival on the African continent).

We are very pleased to inform you that FIAF's Executive Committee decided at its meeting in Rabat on 25 April to admit a new Associate - the Northern Ireland Screen Digital Film Archive (Belfast). A warm welcome to them!

The FIAF General Assembly on 30 April also ratified the upgrade from Associate to Member status of the Film Heritage Foundation (Mumbai) and the Museo del Cine Pablo C. Ducrós Hicken (Buenos Aires).

As a result of these changes, FIAF now has 99 Members and 88 Associates, i.e., a total of 187 institutions in 80 countries - a new all-time record.
