Reports

Subjects are decided by an editorial committee that brings together communications and the technical directorates. The main criterion is educational value: the film must explain a procedure or illustrate a real situation.

Sensitive operations are filmed only after they have closed, so as not to compromise any investigation.

Teams follow a charter: consent of the people filmed, blurring of faces where necessary, protection of storage sites. Images of stolen works are broadcast only with the agreement of the competent authorities.

Artworks are filmed with care, without lighting that could harm fragile pigments.

These field reports follow the journey of an artwork: identification, verification, transport, handover ceremony. They give the floor to State representatives, curators and the communities concerned.

The images are a reminder that behind every case lies a living heritage.

Filmed at the Academy or with partners, they show identification exercises, storeroom visits and inspection simulations. They serve as an introduction before courses.

Several field reports are used by administrations to raise officers' awareness.

Each film is published with a notice, subtitles in three languages and a short version for social media. Television channels can obtain source footage on request.

Viewing statistics guide the choice of future subjects.

Television channels, producers and educational institutions may request source footage from the media library. The request states the intended use, the period of use and the territories of broadcast. A reply is given within five working days.

The footage is supplied with the mandatory credit lines and, where applicable, restrictions relating to the people filmed or the storage sites.
