The Art of Preservation in Transition
NYFF52 Live
September 27 - October 10, 2014
This panel seeks to discuss the myriad decisions that are made during the restoration and preservation process. How are decisions made about when to use digital tools? How can digital and celluloid workflows benefit each other? How can original artistic vision be maintained when digital tools were unavailable at the time of a work’s creation?
Digital tools and technology have provided film restoration and preservation experts with new ways to bring films back to vibrant life and find new screens with which to captivate audiences. Distribution and theatrical presentation relies more and more on digital-end products while theaters capable of doing archival quality reel to reel projection become rare.
