Actor Kamal Hassan has requested the State and Centre to provide funds to improve the digital archival library in the State. This would help preserve old and rare movies.
The digital library was set up by FICCI and has around 3,500 films in all Indian languages. About 1,000 gigabytes of storage space has been created in the last six months.
We have done this with private funds but to enhance the capacity, we need government funds,’ said Kamal Hassan.
He was speaking at the valedictory function of the FICCI conclave. Kiran Reddy, managing director of Sathyam Cinemas, said workshops would be held to popularize digital technology in the film industry
