Physical Film Restoration and Preventive Conservation

Film reels are made of chemically unstable celluloid materials that deteriorate over time. It is crucial to reduce the deterioration of reels through various physical and chemical interventions. Prasad’s preservationists repair these films physically and chemically using molecular sieves and advise on the optimal storage conditions to minimize deterioration over time.

Prasad’s film preservation experts also advise on digitization, restoration, and other post-processing techniques that may be needed to digitally safeguard the content for future use, while ensuring the celluloid film is always preserved for posterity.
