It has been promoting the importance of film preservation through activities such as “Adopt-a-Film”, which aims at discovery, restoration and screenings of long-lost Japanese films, the community-based film archiving project “Bunkyo Film Archive”, “Film Salvation Project” to save films and videotapes damaged in the earthquake and tsunami of 2011, as well as being a driving force behind Home Movie

Day in Japan. FPS is also an associate member of SEAPAVAA (since 2006). FPS deals with your questions and problems related to film preservation. If you don’t know how to store films. If you want to transfer your films onto DVD. If you want to throw away your films (!?). If you want to take part in film preservation activities. If you just simply want to know more about film preservation. If you want to study film preservation abroad. If you want to ask us to do research on old films. If you are a company or a local government office and thinking about how to put your films to good use. We always welcome your inquiries. Please feel free to contact us.
