Our History

Mission, history, organisation and practical information about INA-Guinea

The Institut National de l'Audiovisuel was established in February 2019 in response to the urgent need to preserve the national audiovisual heritage. It succeeded DINAM (Direction Nationale des Archives des Médias), formerly responsible for this mission. This structural change followed the significant loss of archives suffered by RTG, particularly in Boulbinet, due to vandalism and a lack of adequate preservation infrastructure. INA was thus created as a Public Administrative Institution (EPA), with the ambition of modernising the country's audiovisual memory while embracing the challenges of digitalisation and globalisation.
