About the Workshop:

Restoration and colourising black and white archives is a new movement that historians and filmmakers are heading towards; to save classical movies in an attempt to preserve art and history. These include footage of current affairs and real historic events captured on film.

This workshop focuses on the technical and theory aspects of restoration and colourisation, explaining the stages of it, from research on paper until the very final quality check and delivery, while walking through the challenges that the team faces, as well as what part Artificial Intelligence occupy in this project. This workshop will be a master class that will introduce the entirety of the colourisation technology covering its workflow and stages, as well as hurdles that come along the way.

Target Audience: Directors, Editors, Film Students, VFX Artists, Post-production supervisors, Colorists, Graphic Designer
