On Wednesday March 25th, you are cordially invited to attend a special industry panel discussion on “Restoration, Remastering - Reimagining the Process.”

Restoration has different applications. In addition to restoring a motion picture or television show for theaters, monitors, or mobile devices, special venues have entered the picture. 

How are directors’ cuts and lost footage being handled and utilized? Where is restoration being used today?

Please join five of the industry’s restoration specialists to discuss how this process is changing and what staples remain.
