Film Inspection/Evaluation
CFA archivists inspect, clean, make light repairs and evaluate the condition and content of collections or single reels. As part of this service, CFA provides the customer with a detailed inspection report that includes an evaluation of the film materials and a recommendation for its care. This service will be charged at a rate of $90 per hour.

Film Programming
CFA will take programming requests from private and public institutions, organizations or individuals. We offer film programming for corporate events, conferences, children’s events, special celebrations or private screenings. Please call CFA for programming costs. If requested films need to be transferred to another format, CFA will pass on the cost to the customer. Upon completion of the program, ALL MEDIA MUST BE RETURNED TO CFA. Unless otherwise determined, it should NOT be assumed that licensing rights are attached to the media that is lent out.

Stock Footage
As a relatively new archive with vast holdings, CFA is in the process of cataloging and inputting its holdings to a database.
Nevertheless, we will try to assist filmmakers as best as we can with film footage queries. Please contact us at (773) 478 3799 for more information and costs. Unless otherwise determined, it should NOT be assumed that licensing rights are attached to the media that is lent out.
