FIAF and film restoration
Filmhuset in Stockholm and Helsinki will host the annual FIAF (International Federation of Film Archives) from 1-7 June, organised with the SFI- Swedish Film Institute with the Finnish Film Archive.
Thanks to the government-run Ingmar Bergman Fund, the Swedish Film Institute has restored some 70 features to their original glory. The titles include Bergman’s Trollflöjten, Jan Troell’s Utvandrarna and Arne Mattsson’s Mannekäng i rött.
Special guests at this year’s congress include Noel Desmet from the Royal Belgian Film Archive, Grover Crisp and Michael Friend of Columbia Pictures and Lasse Svenberg’s of the SFI. The programme includes a seminar on the restoration and conservation of colour films, and their preservation.
