As Kodak Negotiates Film's Future With Studios, Archivists Seek Digital
Options - Hollywood Reporter

Presenting one potential option to this archiving dilemma at The Reel Thing
are representatives from Drammen, Norway-based Piql (formerly Cinevation).
Managing director *Rune Bjerkestrand* and product manager *Bjørn
Brudeli *described
its system, which involves using high-resolution black and white film on
which to store digital data. According to Bjerkestrand, the system
represents a $27 million research and development investment that included
the development of a new type of film.

The company claims that testing has shown the data can last for 500 years
by using this system, without the need to migrate the data to new film
stock. “We take the longevity and stability of film, and combine it with
the pristine aspect of digital,” said Brudeli, noting that like traditional
film archiving, the prints only need to be stored at a cold temperature.
