Poster: Knowing and protecting motion picture film

A new collection management tool is now available from IPI. The
"Knowing and Protecting Motion Picture Film" poster was the idea of
Jean-Louis Bigourdan and was created by a succession of interns
shepherded by Jean-Louis.

Knowing and Protecting Motion Picture Film Poster

Published by the Image Permanence Institute and developed with
contributions from recipients of the both the AMIA Image Permanence
Institute Internship in Preservation Research Award and recipients
of the Image Permanence Institute L. Jeffrey Selznick School of Film
Preservation Internship Award.

This large poster (47 x 35 inches) takes the viewer through
the fascinating history of motion picture film materials. Using
microscopy-imaging techniques, this poster features the striking
characteristics of twelve distinct film materials from the silent
era to present day. It features a time-line of motion-picture
technology, a wide variety of motion picture film processes, tips
for material identification, and basic knowledge on film formats and
soundtracks. Also included is practical advice for film examination,
a glossary of technical terms, and critical information needed for
long-term preservation. Most notably, this poster is seen as an
educational tool for understanding and ultimately preserving motion
picture film materials. Price: $50.
