Description

<p>The National Film Center is currently running the National Research Project for the Sustainability of Born-digital Cinema subsidized by the Agency for Cultural Affairs’ Program to Assist Promotion of Priority Areas in Art and History Museums. The research project addresses several archival issues emerging from the recent rapid transition from analog to digital in film production and distribution. The digital shift within the film industry has opened up creative possibilities and distribution options, but also entails preservation issues, such as medium and format obsolescence. This article focuses on one of the research topics in the project, the long-term preservation of 4K born-digital elements, and it examines the problems that have arisen in the production process. Subsequently, it discusses the need to avoid proprietary systems and sole dependencies when developing a digital preservation program, in relation to both technology and staff expertise.</p>
