In the CSFA-run stock, 6,625 Albanian and foreign films are stored in an area of 10,001,691 square meters.  All Albanian productions appear in negative, positive and phonograme, whereas the films made before 1990 are also in d/negative and d/positive.

The temperature in the warehouses for films range from 10 C degrees for black-and-white films, to 6 C degrees for color films with humidity.

The CSFA operates the “Fica” system of compressors aimed at maintaining the appropriate levels of temperature and humidity. Last year, 45,000 vacuum bags of this system were not put in use on account of the summer high temperatures, the problems concerning environment pollution, and the failures of the energy and water supply.  The films are preserved in metallic boxes, often in two copies.
