The Philippine Film Archive currently holds over twenty-five thousand (25,000) audiovisual elements. A complete inventory and inspection of film elements are presently ongoing to determine the total identified and unidentified titles, numbers below are presented in terms of discrete elements.

Film - The film collection of over thirteen thousand (13,000) elements comprises a variety of 8mm, 16mm, and 35mm film reels from different depositors and donations, both locally and those expatriated abroad.

Tapes - Over eight thousand (8,000) Video Tapes, in U-Matic, Betacam-SP, Betamax, and VHS formats, come from deposits of public institutions and even private individuals.

Optical Media - (CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray Discs) are well considered in the digital assets (together with DCPs, .mov, .mp4s, and .avi formats in hard drives) which go beyond eight hundred (800) in the PFA collection.

Digital Collection - Aside from Films, Tapes, and Optical discs, the PFA also houses a growing number of Digital media in its collection. Housed in data storages, be it from data drives (Internal as well as External storages) to LTOs, containing raw files from scanned analogue films, video files captured from tapes, or even DCPs used in film screening in cinemas.

Artifacts - In order to view the analogue collection, the PFA uses available tools and machinery which were also used during the times when these formats were still widely used, such as Steenbecks, Moviolas, or an Animation Stand (all of which are in display as well in the museum section of the PFA). Not only in accessing analogue formats, the PFA also has equipment in playing digital movies like DVD players, Blu-ray players, digital projectors from 3,200 lumens up to 7,000 lumens, and also media players that hold film titles which would be connected to screens or projectors for exhibiting films to a large number of viewers.
