This alterity allows for a different, yet no\nless robust, approach to film preservation and conservation. Conservators Erik\nPiil and Peter Oleksik will describe the current landscape of film scanning and\ndigitization, including photochemical and non-photochemical objectives,\nintermediate workflows, and metadata documentation. Erik will address key\ntechnical specifications for film digitization, including image acquisition,\ntarget color spaces, sampling depth, and common acquisition file formats. These\nconsiderations, when weighed with the various characteristics of motion picture\nfilm, present to the audience multiple frameworks for preservation. Following\nErik\u2019s overview of the technical specifications for film digitization, Peter\nwill present recent case studies at MoMA, including the project to digitize the\nentire filmic output of Andy Warhol, to illustrate these concepts in a\nconservation oriented digitization workflow. Looking at both recent\nacquisitions as well as preparing works on film for exhibition using digital\nintermediaries, Peter will show how both photochemical and digital approaches\nare increasingly becoming the norm in a symbiotic relationship of conservation\nand access. In addition, issues of cataloguing, digital storage and\ninstitutional infrastructure will be addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Erik Piil  <br>Digital Archivist, Anthology Film Archives  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Peter Oleksik <br>Assistant Media Conservator, Museum of Modern Art <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Erik Piil and Peter OleksikThe Electronic Media Review, Volume Four: 2015-2016 Abstract As photochemical motion picture production winds down, film archivists and conservators must aim to engage with alternative forms of preservation.
