2019 FIAF Symposium
Opening Remarks and Session 1 - Possible futures of the film archive
Lausanne, 8 April 2019
Certain collections have a singular status within an archive. Camera collections, "non-film" collections, or substandard media present specific problems for restoration, treatment, and valorisation/promotion. Digital technology can help to simplify those problems, but can also, in some cases, complicate them.
