We support your institution in all steps of the analog film preservation process. We offer our guidance from the funding application (in the DACH region), through inventory and cataloguing, to conservation, restoration and digitization. In workshops and training sessions, we also impart knowledge and technical know-how to your institution's staff.

The technical work can either be carried out on site at your institution or via our service company Tinted Memories in Munich.

In the respective specialist areas, we rely on a network of proven experts who support us with their services in art history, curation, exhibition planning, digital long-term archiving, acquisition management and lending, as well as with technical resources.

Our training portfolio covers the following topics:

FILM TECHNOLOGY

• Film scanners (ARRI, DFT, Blackmagic, etc.)

• Film rewinds

• Editing tables (Steenbeck, KEM, Schmid)

FILM RESTORATION

• Recognizing, identifying and combating decay

• Handling film damage (perforation, emulsion, scratches, etc.)

• Cleaning (manual and mechanical)

FILM COLLECTION

• Workflow implementation

• Disaster management and prevention

We believe in the relevance of open access systems in the museum world and are aware of the importance of passing on relevant knowledge across generations.
