Description
Heritage cinema is one of the most underexploited assets in the film industry. Thousands of clips remain out of reach, not because they lack value, but because no one knows where to find them or whom to ask. Refractio brings leading heritage film catalogues together on a single platform. Every film is indexed shot by shot, so professionals (producers, documentary makers, archive researchers, agencies) can find a specific image by its mood, framing or dialogue, then deal directly with the rights holder. For catalogue owners, it is a new, simple, free and legal revenue channel. Our technology relies on AI indexation models hosted in Europe: we generate nothing, we reveal what already exists. Winner of the audience award at the We are_ Challenges at VivaTech 2026, Refractio will offer live search and acquisition demos across its partner catalogues on its stand.
