Round Table - How to revive a classic movie in today's digital world: A conversation with Christophe Gans

The roundtable will cover key aspects of film restoration, starting with the critical question: Why should we restore a film? The discussion will outline the main steps involved in the restoration process, from preserving the original material to modern digital updates, and will address the ethical considerations necessary to maintain the artistic integrity of restored works. A case study of Brotherhood of the Wolf will be presented to provide practical insights into the restoration process. Finally, the debate will explore the use of physical film versus digital formats as archival mediums, and which is the best option for long-term preservation.
