One, "Triumph of the Wild" is being acquired by the MoMA. We walked up a block in the snow to check out the HD transfer/color correct from her 16mm negative.
From there she's recording to 35mm and various tape/digital formats. Tape formats only stay standard for about 10 - 15 years. 1 inch, Umatic, D1, Digibeta, now a few formats a vying for HD tape supremacy -HDCAM SR and the older D5. Pure digital is ok, but drives will break down faster than tape.

And it rises again the question about the ephemeral nature of the new technologies. Everything dies faster. A lot of valuable films will be lost, if they don't get transferred every 5-10 Years.Which makes the role of the "conservatoire" institutions even more important.
