National Film Archive of Japan (NFAJ) was inaugurated as the sixth national museum institution in April, 2018. While explaining the name and structure of the new organization, this essay discusses NFAJ's policy and year-long efforts for exhaustively acquiring the extraordinarily huge national film heritage of this country. It also observes on what the film programing at the NFAJ should be in the context of film preservation, and how the digital technology is expected to go with the various kinds of collection providing services, with briefly referring to the super-enhancement which has recently raised the ethical issue in film restoration as an over-the-top digital treatment among the world film archival community.
