Saving Papua New Guinea’s Film Heritage | Sydney News
Description
Papua New Guinea’s irreplaceable film heritage—over 1,300 reels at risk from humidity and floods—is being saved thanks to a $200,000 grant from Australia’s National Film and Sound Archive. Together, they’re digitizing the most vital films, training local staff, and building a remote digital studio in Goroka to ensure these cultural treasures survive—and thrive—for future generations. This isn’t just about preserving old movies; it’s about safeguarding national memory, connecting youth to their roots, and setting a powerful example for other Pacific nations facing similar threats.
