Blackmagic Design announced today that the National Film Archive of Japan used Cintel Scanner for digitizing films from the institution's valuable collections, some of which are then made available via dedicated streaming websites.
The National Film Archive of Japan is a center for the promotion of film culture through the preservation, research and exhibition of films. It is engaged in the collection, preservation, and restoration of films and film related materials, as well as academic research and studies related to film. It also screens films in its theater area and shows film related materials in exhibition areas.
The organization is divided into a main building in Kyobashi, Tokyo, which screens films and exhibits film related materials, as well as a branch building in Sagamihara, Kanagawa Prefecture, which mainly stores and inspects films. The Sagamihara Conservation Center, where the Cintel Scanner is installed, currently has about 85,000 films in storage. "These are the films that have already been inspected, and there are many more that have not yet been inspected yet. And since each film is made up of several rolls, the number of rolls is even more enormous," said Kazuki Miura, Associate Curator of the National Film Archive of Japan.
