The "Technical" dossiers include descriptions and manuals for film equipment and articles and promotional materials related to film techniques and concepts.

The titles of dossiers are organized as follows:
For Film dossiers, the original title of the film is used with the definite and indefinite articles placed at the end. Example: MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH, THE (Alfred Hitchcock, 1956) or: FEMME EST UNE FEMME, UNE (Jean-Luc Godard, 1961).
Person dossiers are organized by "surname, first name". Example: "Hitchcock, Alfred" or "De Palma, Brian".
Film Festival dossiers are organized with the title of the film festival followed by the city and then the year. Example: 10 Moskovskij meždunarodnyj cinema festival, Moskau 1977.
