"Workshop on movie restoration and preservation" reaches its 14th conference in 2019. During this time, the environment surrounding film production and screening has changed dramatically from “analog” to “digital”. In looking back at the history of movies, contents were lost when the standards changed, from silent to talky or from nitrate to acetate. I proposed this workshop with this fear. With a history of more than 120 years, the only common standard in the world, 35mm movie film, has left a huge amount of motion picture heritage. How do you make use of it? There are a lot of difficult problems such as “vinegar syndrome” and “digital dilemma”. We consider this “workshop” a place for exchanging information among many people who are concerned.
