"Preserving motion pictures – whether film or digital – is an imperative from both cultural and commercial perspectives," said Andy Maltz, Senior Vice President, Science and Technology Council.  "As long as digital motion picture technologies evolve, there will be a need for collaboration between archivists, technologists and filmmakers.  The ADPF provides a foundation for productive communication and problem-solving to ensure future generations can access the movies we enjoy today and those yet to come."
