film heritage

Film heritage refers to the collection, preservation, and study of films that are culturally, historically, or artistically significant. It includes movies, reels, posters, and related materials that capture a society’s history, values, and creative achievements. Preserving film heritage ensures that future generations can access and learn from these works, maintaining the cultural record and recognizing the importance of cinema as an art form and historical document. It involves conservation efforts to protect aging film stock and digital archiving to safeguard films from deterioration or loss.
