Asian Film Archive

Despite their noble missions, asian film archives face significant financial and logistical hurdles. For a start-up organization like the AFA, gaining funding for projects has always been a challenge, and advocacy for film preservation remains "an uphill task" when competing with other public causes. Archives must constantly innovate to raise awareness and secure sponsorships.

Physical film decays, but digital files are not immune. We are entering the era of bit rot —the gradual corruption of data stored on hard drives. An today must not only preserve celluloid but also LTO tapes (Linear Tape-Open), obsolete video formats (U-matic, Betacam SP), and even DVD-ROMs that are developing disc rot.
