As part of its Screen Summit industry programming and based on a soon-to-be published comprehensive survey on public policy and film restoration practices, the CFI’s International Film Festival of Ottawa (IFFO), with Telefilm Canada and the French Embassy in Canada gathered Canadian and international film archivists, distributors, exhibitors, and streaming services to discuss the current state of our endangered cinematic heritage. Celebrating recent restorations of classic films with case studies and special screenings, this one-day conference also hosted panel discussions on ways to increase the accessibility of this heritage to audiences worldwide.
This international panel will address similar issues to the Canadian panel in a more global context: what films are being preserved and restored, and by whom? Panelists will also focus on their active and ongoing work to develop and promote international distribution and exhibition – at festivals, in cinemas, and via online streaming platforms – of heritage or ‘classic’ films from all over the world.
Moderator: Dr. Aboubakar Sanogo (Carleton University, African Film Heritage Project)
Panelists:
Brian Belovarac (Theatrical Distribution, Janus Films/Criterion Channel)
Gérald Duchaussoy (Head of Cannes Classics)
Ron Mann (President, Films We Like)
Juliette Rajon (Director of the Marché international du film classique)
- Year2022
