"Lost Film Search" project
The Technicolor Foundation for Film Heritage supports the Bophana Audiovisual Resource Center since its creation in 2006. At this time, a program for enriching the center’s collection has been already established with the digitization of titles coming from the Cinema Department of the Ministry of Culture, Cambodia. This program supported by the training of the center’s staff in the film transfer techniques, marks the beginning of a transnational collaboration which goal is to offer a better knowledge of the audiovisual memory related to the Cambodia’s history and culture.
It is in this spirit that, in September 2007 and from the Technicolor Foundation’s initiative, the « Lost Film Search » has been created, a project which aims at enlarging the collection of Cambodian related films to the American territory. The Technicolor Foundation proposed to the Motion Picture Department of George Eastman House to be associated to the « Lost Film Search » project by entrusting a graduate from the Selznick School of Film Preservation, Antonella Bonfanti, with this research program. Around her, a project team has been gathered for administrating, guiding, advising, monitoring and for endorsing her work to different film archives in USA.

Today, more than 400 titles from the notional field of Cambodia have been found out within the American film archives and are likely to be collected by the Bophana center.
