Summary
Matěj Strnad is a film archivist and curator with nine years of professional experience leading programming and access initiatives for FIAF and overseeing curatorial strategy at the Národní filmový archiv in Prague. He combines hands-on project coordination of large-scale digital restorations with policy work—drafting collection policy and steering acquisition, restoration and valorisation agendas. A prolific lecturer, writer and evaluator, he has shaped national digital restoration practices through ministry working groups and EEA-funded projects that restored landmark Czech films. Beyond stewardship, he bridges scholarship and practice by co-editing historical texts, contributing to international symposiums, and advising cultural institutions on preservation and presentation strategies.
