 New Format with a Focus on Specialization
For the fourth edition of the workshop, we have devised a new format and curriculum that is all about specialization. Selected participants will get the opportunity to pick from four areas of specialization – Film Handling and Repair, Digital Preservation and Restoration, Cataloguing and Paper and Photographic Conservation.
The intensive week-long workshop, certified by FIAF, covers both lectures and practical classes in the best practices of the preservation and restoration of both films and film-related paper and photographic material and is taught by a faculty of international experts from leading institutions around the world. Classes will be followed by daily screenings of restored classics from around the world. Applications open from Aug 25 – Oct 1, 2018
