    Kamal Haasan Concludes Successful 'Film Preservation And Reservation Workshop'

    With initiative to preserve India’s rich film legacy, Film Heritage Foundation recently organized 'Film Preservation and Reservation Workshop' held at NFAI, Pune. The event was concluded by veteran actor Kamal Haasan, where celebrated director Mani Ratnam was also present. The event was structured in collaboration with National Film Archive of India (NFAI) and International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF).

    Kamal Haasan said, “I am very pleased to be invited to be Chief Guest at the closing certification ceremony of the Film Preservation and Restoration Workshop in Pune and to present the FIAF certificates to the participants. A workshop of this kind is crucial for our country that has lost so much of our cinematic history and we need to grow a resource of passionate film archivists who are committed to saving our cinematic heritage. I would like to congratulate Film Heritage Foundation for this remarkable initiative and for conducting the workshop at the National Film Archive of India".

    The 10-day workshop was called to be highly successful in its second edition, this year. One thing that stood out in this event was covering the preservation of both film and non-film material like posters, documents, lobby cards, photographs and many others. It was said that Viacom 18 came up with this idea and immediately became chief sponsor for the event.
