Part of the Reel Heritage initiative, this public lecture, delivered by Toronto-based media and film archivist Christina Stewart is dedicated to the whys and hows of motion picture handling, the value of proper training, the tools of the motion picture handler, and the material history of the film medium. The lecture will be followed by a Q&A with the audience. In advance of the event, we will be taking questions for Christina Stewart on Twitter via #reelheritage.
