Motion picture film is a chemical medium and, by nature, fragile. Over time, film undergoes physical and chemical deterioration due to environmental exposure, temperature fluctuations, humidity, and aging of base materials. Common issues such as shrinkage, color fading, brittleness, and vinegar syndrome can permanently damage valuable content if not stored and handled under strict archival conditions. Beyond commercial value, films represent an irreplaceable cultural and historical legacy — documenting stories, traditions, and moments that define generations.
