Preserving Hilda
Beginning with a request via the archive's online catalogue, the film conservation team at Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision came to know the work of amateur filmmaker Hilda Brodie-Smith. Through her work, this presentation will discuss amateur filmmaking in the 1960s, and the process of digitising amateur film, accompanied by a screening of the conservation team’s favourite works from Hilda’s collection.

Bastion Point - Day 507
One of the most important documentary films in New Zealand is digitally preserved. This presentation will show the process of scanning, colour grading and restoring the picture to its best state, and talk about the decisions made to maintain its authenticity.

Richard, Leslie and Gareth are Film Conservators at Nga Taonga Sound & Vision.
