The Indian film industry recently celebrated 100 years and that is a depiction of the legacy that Bollywood has. With the news of many archived films being destroyed, the Film Heritage Foundation has taken the initiative to preserve the rich Bollywood content and will be conducting a workshop. While many of the Bollywood celebrities are supporting this initiative, megastar Amitabh Bachchan will be inaugurating the workshop along with Chief Minister of Maharashtra Devendra Fadnavis.
The workshop, titled ‘Film Preservation and Restoration School India 2015’, will start from February 22 to February 28, 2015. Amitabh Bachchan who will be the chief guest at the opening ceremony of the workshop expressed his surprise over the kind of content we possess. He also further explained the importance of preserving such unique cinema and expressed his happiness over participating in this campaign. He added that this initiative is a process that can lead to a movement for preserving the old Indian films and maintain the quality of this content.
Film Heritage Foundation is a non-profit organization started by filmmaker Shivendra Singh Dungarpur.
