The Hollywood Section of SMPTE , the organization whose standards work has supported more than a century of advances in entertainment technology, and the Visual Effects Society (VES) of Los Angeles will explore the challenges of restoring and preserving entertainment content in a joint meeting scheduled for Tuesday, July 17.
(l to r) Larry Chernoff, Grover Crisp, Sheri Eisenberg, Theo Gluck, Jan-Christopher Horak, Andrew Oran
The restoration and preservation of motion picture and television content are complex and challenging issues. Content owners must decide what should be saved and how it should be preserved, and they must consider who will cover the costs and how future generations will access content from today and the past 100 years. In this special joint meeting of the SMPTE Hollywood Section and the VES Los Angeles, some of Hollywood's brightest minds in restoration and preservation will discuss the pioneering work their companies are doing to secure the future accessibility of valuable content and, moreover, what others can do to help.
The art and science of film restoration and preservation have improved significantly in recent years, but new challenges are always arising, said SMPTE Hollywood Section Chair Jim DeFilippis. At our July meeting, we'll hear from people working at the front lines of a field of vital importance to everyone involved in the entertainment industry.
Presenters include:
Larry Chernoff, CEO of MTI Film
Grover Crisp, executive vice president, asset management, film restoration and digital mastering at Sony Pictures Entertainment
Sheri Eisenberg, senior colorist at Roundabout Entertainment
Theo Gluck, director: library restoration and preservation at The Walt Disney Studios
Jan-Christopher Horak, director at UCLA Film and Television Archive
Andrew Oran, vice president of sales and operations, large format and restoration at Fotokem
SMPTE Life Member Dick May; Anthony Magliocco, vice president of business development at Entertainment and Media Technology Marketing; and Linda Rosner, managing director at Artisans PR are producing the event.

About SMPTE
For more than a century, the people of SMPTE (pronounced simp-tee ) have sorted out the details of many significant advances in media and entertainment technology, from the introduction of talkies and color television to HD and UHD (4K, 8K) TV. Since its founding in 1916, SMPTE has received an Oscar and multiple Emmy Awards for its work in advancing moving-imagery engineering across the industry. SMPTE has developed thousands of standards, recommended practices, and engineering guidelines, more than 800 of which are currently in force today. SMPTE Time Code and the ubiquitous SMPTE Color Bars are just two examples of SMPTE's notable work. Now in its second century, SMPTE is shaping the next generation of standards and providing education for the industry to ensure interoperability as the industry evolves further into IT- and IP-based workflows. SMPTE's global membership today includes more than 7,000 members: motion-imaging executives, creatives, technologists, researchers, and students who volunteer their time and expertise to SMPTE's standards development and educational initiatives. A partnership with the Hollywood Professional Association (HPA) connects SMPTE and its membership with the businesses and individuals who support the creation and finishing of media content.
