Description
This is the first book to bring together the work of a modern motion picture film laboratory together with the specialist techniques for
preservation and restoration of archival film.
The books data has its origins in a training programme called FILM which was written
by members of the Gamma Group with funding from the EU fund Force. The committee comprised senior film archivists and technicians in
charge of film conservation departments or working film laboratories within national film archives, together with technicians from commercial
laboratories which specialise in archival film conservation and who do not work for national and local archives. The final group consisted
of many of the most experienced individuals in their fields.
Restoration of Motion Picture Film is an extremely informative, well-researched
book which is an unmissable addition to the bookshelves of conservators, archivists and curators worldwide. Film history and film conservation
students will also find it of great interest and use.
Audience:
Conservators, archivists and curators worldwide. Film history and film conservation students.
