Webinar "NFSA Restores" with Gayle Lake
About
For some years now, the Friends of the NFSA has made an annual donation to the NFSA for its NFSA Restores program. This is the program through which the Archive digitises, restores and preserves Australian films so they can be seen in today’s digital cinemas.
