It’s been a monumental activity to place the workshop collectively this 12 months with very restricted sources and climbing prices. However we knew we needed to make up for the misplaced time and the misplaced momentum that we constructed up over six years travelling across the nation and coaching over 300 individuals in India and the neighboring international locations,” stated Shivendra Singh Dungarpur, director, Movie Heritage Basis. “Our workshops have had an amazing influence and are essential for build up a pool of archivists to avoid wasting our movie heritage.”
