Under the theme of "Searching the Traces:
Study of Short-lived Film Formats", the Symposium offered
a wide range of papers as well as presentations on the many short-lived
formats for film and other visual medium prior to the establishment
of 35mm film as the norm of the industry. At the same time, the presentations
stressed the need for the preservation and restoration of not only
such short-lived film formats of the past, but also of its projection
equipment as well. |
