Into the Mystery of Films—Secrets of Restoration and Sharing Unraveled by Conservators and Curators
Film is an art of entertainment and a cultural carrier. Therefore, the preservation of films is an integral part of history and heritage. With technological advancement, we can now save digital files on a computer with just a few clicks. However, the preservation of historical information demands much effort. Methods of preservation and conservation have to be carefully adopted according to the material and format of the historical items. Members of the Archive’s Conservation team will arrive at school in person and offer insights into the principles of image creation as well as conservation technology, giving students a chance to handle celluloid films. Programme curator will share interesting stories of the film industry by playing short videos, enhancing students' interest in Hong Kong local films.|
