The ScreenSound/Kodak/ Atlab project targets films from the period 1955-1992. Many of the films from this period are now difficult to locate, have incomplete negatives or, due to the elements of time and use, are not suitable for screening. (Since 1993, as a condition of their financing, both the Australian Film Finance Corporation and the Australian Film Commission include in their agreements that producers donate a release print to ScreenSound Australia).
