| Synopsis |
The article 'That's not a film - this is a film. Science and art come to the rescue of Australian cinema classics.' provides an insight into the Kodak / Atlab Restoration Project for the National Film and Sound Archive. This informative news article by Steven Down Featured in The Age Newspaper was published at the conclusion of the first stage of the project in 2005. The article reveals that in the first stage of the restoration, 50 Australian films were selected to be restored in order to preserve the heritage and works of a significant period in Australian film history. This article is primarily informative, announcing that a further 25 projects will be selected for the second stage of the project and will also be restored back to cinema quality. What the article reveals, particularly through interviews with Phillip Noyce, whose search for original copies of his 1978 film 'Newsfront' led to the development of the restoration project, the complex and difficult task of preservation as well as highlighting the importance of having a historical record of Australian films in order to be able to show historical and cultural development.
The article is significant in highlighting a list of the projects which were selected for restoration, but also in giving a sense of the ways in which Noyce's contributions are continuing to enhance the film industry and allows for viewers to recognise the contributions he has made previously, particularly in the development of Australian Cinema since the release of 'Backroads' in 1977. |
