film inspection / digitization / elements comparison
january-february 2022

I scanned the 16 mm prints with optical sound (french & english versions), digitized the 1” open reel, inspected the photochemical prints and compared the different existing and newly-created elements to establish a restoration plan.

Filmed on the streets of Beirut in 1989, War Generation is an award-winning documentary that explores the life experiences of three generations of young people as they struggle to grow-up and survive in Lebanon’s war-torn capitol city.
