ABSTRACT
The case studies discussed in this chapter are relevant for a number of reasons. As historical cases, they reflect on the restoration practice as it was carried out at the turn of the millennium when digital tools were being introduced. Alongside the traditional photochemical workflows, restorers could also resort to digital or hybrid workflows to restore these projects. Ten years on, it is interesting to note that these three workflows are still regularly adopted by film archives and laboratories. Indeed, although archives apply digital tools more frequently today than they would have ten years ago, film restoration is still very much a hybrid practice. Therefore, the cases analyzed here are still useful examples for bridging theory and practice through the frameworks and concepts introduced in this book.
