Film for presentation
In a world where new and high-tech are expected to be better, film is recognized today as the only truly reliable archiving medium for imagery, particularly today's digitally produced imagery for theater, television syndication and mass distribution.
Some players in animation have already recognized the long-term value of film recording and have turned to acmeworks to preserve their assets for centuries to come. Among them are Cartoon Network, Warner Bros. Animation, Universal Cartoon Studio, Stretch Films, Curious Pictures and Walt Disney TV Animation.

Film for preservation
Much of the world's scientific and technological legacy is recorded on paper, archived in libraries, museums and research institutions. Paper can last for hundreds of years, but many important documents are so physically fragile, they are no longer available to scholars or the general public. Many institutions are digitizing these irreplaceable assets, but in time, these digital media will fail.
More and more institutions are recognizing that genuine, perpetual archiving demands motion picture film. Increasingly, these institutions are turning to acmeworks.
