Plan afoot to preserve legacy of Indian cinema
The New Indian Express|November 04, 2024
AS part of their continuing efforts, the National Film Development Corporation of India (NFDC-NFAI) will soon embark on a path-breaking journey to achieve another milestone for preservation of India's cinematic legacy.

The plan is to conserve film scripts, disc records, movie posters, lobby cards (a set of images used to promote a movie displayed in cinema halls), costumes, newspaper clippings, film magazines and equipment.

About a month back, the minister of information and broadcasting Ashwini Vaishnaw held a meeting with officials in Mumbai to discuss the modalities and identification of objects to be preserved.

Noted screenwriter and the chairman of Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) Prasoon Joshi attended the meeting in which several decisions were taken to safeguard film heritage.

Officials privy to the matter said that the project is likely to begin after the ongoing National Film Heritage Mission—launched to restore and preserve old and classic Indian films—is concluded next year.
