Film Event: Film Preservation

As part of our 5th anniversary next year, the Asian Film Archive and Tisch Asia are presenting

Film Preservation

Feb 26th
2pm-3pm
Theatre II
All Tisch Students Welcome

Our talk will introduce the concept and importance of film preservation to your students. It will begin by outlining the various types of technical damage that result from the careless treatment of film. More importantly, the talk aims to clear up the common misconception that film preservation is only for films that have outlived their marketable value or is reserved exclusively for prominent filmmakers. In fact, the talk will highlight the importance and usefulness of preserving materials from the beginning of a film shoot such as storyboards and student films. The talk will also clarify how film preservation extends across mediums: the preservation of both film and digital mediums will be addressed.
