| The
Films Division has so far digitized 188 informative and educative films, while
480 films have been transferred on High Definition tapes, and 825 films on international
tracks (transferred on DVD). This is part of an exercise to digitize 8100 celluloid
films and transfer them on high definition tapes. After completion of this work
over the next few months, Films Division will embark on its second phase of restoration
of all its celluloid material which over the years has suffered different degrees
of decay and decomposition. During
the year 2006-07, the National Film Archives of India (NFAI) acquired 1561 reels
of picture and sound negatives from the National Film Development Corporation
(NFDC) branches in Mumbai, Chennai and Bangalore, apart from about 1500 reels
of valuable film material from the Bombay Film Lab and Film Centre and Cine Lab
in Mumbai and Rutik Memorial Trust in Kolkata, and Marryland Studios in Thiruvananthapuram.
The Children’s Film Society, India , also transferred 684 reels of negatives
for preservation. |
