FILM:RESTORED – THE 3RD FILM HERITAGE FESTIVAL

From 25-28 October and in cooperation with the Deutscher Kinematheksverbund and the Fédération Internationale des Archives du Film (FIAF), Film:ReStored will screen digitally restored films, in part as premieres, during the 3rd Film Heritage Festival. Lectures and workshops dedicate themselves to questions about the digitalization of film heritage.

The third edition of Film:ReStored will address the interplay of film and television archives within the traditions of dealing with film heritage. Without the contributions of television, German film history since the 1960s would look considerably different. Much of what became possible in New German Cinema is also owed to the engagement of individual TV editors, who have continuously supported such works over decades and who have had an influence on both careers and developments in the genre.

It seems all the more necessary to consider television and film history together and to develop cooperative strategies to bring dormant treasures back to life on screen. Some of these will be shown again for the first time as part of the Film:ReStored_03 program. On 26 October 2018 the awards ceremony of the Kinopreis des Kinematheksverbundes (a nationwide prize of the association of German cinematheques) will take place.
