This 7- day workshop, open to applicants from all over the world, covers the complete range of the issues and topics required to work in the field of audio-visual preservation and will be taught by an international faculty of experts in the field.

The curriculum included both lectures and hands-on sessions on film, video, audio and digital preservation, film conservation and restoration, digitization, cataloguing, paper and photograph conservation, programming, and much more. Classes will be followed by daily evening screenings of restored films from around the world.
