The research group met the head of the Cineteca dello Stretto (Ortigia) to introduce the SAFE project and propose to what extend the Cineteca could be involved in the study. Born in the past few years, the Cineteca dello Stretto became in a very short time an important stakeholder in Sicily and among the non-theatrical Italian film archives. The issue of sustainability is for them crucial since it must be tackled as a whole (identification of proper conservation spaces, set up digital preservation strategies, and launch dissemination strategies).
The Cineteca showed interest in participating to the survey and to be involved as an active partner in the environmental monitoring of the new repositories where the film collections is meant to be held from Fall 2024
