Founded in 2016 by film professionals, Archive Valley operates as a specialized online platform designed to streamline the process of sourcing and licensing archival footage. The Paris-based company primarily serves documentary filmmakers, content creators, and production companies by connecting them with a global network of archive providers and professional researchers.
The platform's core function is to facilitate the discovery of unique footage for various productions. Clients can submit detailed footage requests, which are then matched with relevant archive sources worldwide. These providers, in turn, can showcase their collections to a targeted market, receive curated requests, and manage licensing directly through the platform. For more complex research needs, clients can hire vetted archive researchers from over 50 countries, who specialize in accessing hard-to-reach material.
The business model allows archive sources to set their own prices and use their own licensing agreements, while the platform provides the connection and a secure dashboard for communication and exchange of materials. Initially launched in a free beta phase to build its user base and community, the company planned to introduce a premium model for productions with high-volume archive requirements. In 2021, Archive Valley was acquired by and rejoined Composite Films, a French production company founded in 2013 by Samuel François-Steininger, known for its work in film restoration and colorization.
The service is designed to address the complexities and time-consuming nature of archival research by creating a simplified, centralized hub. Users can describe their footage needs, receive previews, and communicate directly with archivists, saving valuable production time. The platform aims to make unique, global footage more accessible, whether it's from Tunisia, Nepal, or Moscow. The integration with Composite Films enhances its capabilities by combining a sourcing platform with expertise in archive restoration.
