At the same panel, @Mengchun gave us a brief update on the technology side of the project. S/o to David Walsh's digitisation project workflow (FIAF Technical Commission). Workshop is necessary because film scanning is just one step in the whole process. [This resonates deeply as I have done similar presentation about magnetic media digitisation is just one step. I'm also really glad to ses #DigiPres principles here.]
Sanchai also shared the context surrounding AEC+FIAF Film Preservation Workshop 2017. This is one of the formative trainings I've received and some of us in this cohort are now active in the audiovisual archiving community in our region. After this, TFA kept up with at least one big training workshop per year. There's even virtual training editions during the pandemic.
Day 3 #GAVA2026, we start with Myanmar Film Heritage, Local Activation and International Collaboration. On the panel are @lisabonarahman (FIAF), @Mengchun, Okkar (Save Myanmar Film), Sanchai (Thai Film Archive), Linh Anh (UNESCO).
We hear the origin story of Thai Film Archive from Sanchai. Dome Sukvong, founder, insisted that TFA has to be part of the government because it is a non-profit endeavour, no private company would fund a loss-making entity.

#introduction
Hi! I'm an #analog #film #projectionist (#35mm, #70mm, #16mm) working at the Academy #Museum of Motion Pictures in #LosAngeles, CA (views are my own). I mostly post photos of analog film frames, with the occasional behind the scenes photo/video from the #projection booth.
I co-authored and co-edited "The Art of Film Projection: A Beginner's Guide," a comprehensive outline of the materials, equipment, and knowledge needed to present the magic of #cinema to an audience. I also wrote "Endangered Features," a one-person play about the world of #FilmArchiving, #FilmProjection as a technical art, and the evolution of cinema exhibition from its analog roots to cutting-edge digital.
Member of #IATSE Local 695 and the Association of Moving Image Archivists. I like #movies, #unions, #SocialJustice, #technology, #socialism, #VideoGames, #BoardGames, #scooters, #ElectricVehicles, and #cats. Let's build a less centralized Internet!
