Liza Kastrilevich, Yale Film Archive, Film Conservation

For summer of 2022, I had the opportunity to intern at Yale Film Archive. I worked on 3 film collections, two of which were from different countries, Russia and India. I was inspecting, repairing, rehousing, cataloguing, and scanning 16mm, Super 8mm, and 8mm film. I also had the chance to inspect and prepare 35mm prints of Hollywood films for projection. In total during my time at Yale Film Archive, I was able to archive and preserve about 150 films.
