About the Peer Learning Forum: Starting in July 2026, FIAF (Internation Federation of Film Archives) is launching an online discussion series that will focus on one topic each year, featuring references or working methods based on practice or research. Its aims are to give archivists opportunities to exchange experiences with similar challenges, reflect on a specific topic, and to expand FIAF’s pool of knowledgeable trainers.

Organized by: Lisabona Rahman (Training & Outreach Coordinator), Sreya Chatterjee (Technical Commission member), and Clara Sánchez-Dehesa (Elías Querejeta Zine Eskola, FIAF Supporter).

Content: What are the recent ideas, practices and studies within the film preservation field that give us strategies to cope with high temperature and humidity? This first FIAF Training & Outreach Peer Learning Forum will discuss strategies emerging from the working experiences of colleagues dealing with high temperature and humidity as the norm. The Forum will start as a reading assignment and online discussion, followed by two online experience-sharing sessions held in English and Spanish.

Target Group: People interested in the conservation of analogue and digital film, especially archivists who practice it or are responsible for making policies. As much as possible, the organizers will facilitate discussions in English and in Spanish. The schedule of the events also takes into account different time zones, to accommodate participants in as many geographical locations as possible.
