A blue background flyer for the workshop titles Are Your Films Future-Proofed? The flyer includes event details, venue, date information and logos and photos of presenters. All information is on this same event page.

This self-help workshop teaches you how to future-proof your films—whether shot on celluloid, video, or digital—so they survive you. Many of us have already suffered disasters: fire, floods, hard drives that don’t mount, cloud storage that goes “poof,” vinegar syndrome, mold… Learn how to avoid these and other plagues before it’s too late. Presentation will include case studies (horror stories & happy endings). You’ll come away from this session not only inspired but also armed with specific protocols for protecting your work. You have nothing to lose (…except your entire oeuvre).

Hosted by IDA and co-presented by Digital Bedrock, IndieCollect, NFMLA, Outfest, and WIF.
