The National Film Archives of India (NFAI) will host a 10-day international workshop on film preservation and restoration at its campus in Pune from February 26 to March 6.
The workshop, which will be inaugurated on February 25 by actor Naseeruddin Shah, will feature lectures and practical sessions on film conservation, digitisation, etc.
Information and Broadcasting ministry secretary Sunil Arora, too, will attend the inauguration.
"It's a landmark event in the history of NFAI as it is the first time such a workshop is being organised (by it). The course has been specially designed by David Walsh, head of the technical commission of International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF), taking into consideration Indian requirements and conditions," Director of NFAI, Prakash Magdum, said in a statement.
NFAI is in the process of implementing the prestigious National Film Heritage Mission and the workshop is a step towards strengthening in-house capabilities towards that end, said Santosh Ajmera, Officer on Special Duty for NFHM.
