dft and Prasad Corporation have had a very busy few months, attending, participating and supporting numerous events around the globe. Following NAB in April, we were busy with FIAF in Bologne, The Reel Thing, Los Angeles and of course IBC in Amsterdam. If you missed us, then between now and the holidays, we’re also at the October FIAT/IFTA Nina conference in Warsaw, and in November at the AMIA conference in Pittsburgh.

In August, we announced the appointment of Quinto Communications as our new representatives in Australia and New Zealand. Simon Carter said: “We are extremely pleased to be working with Quinto Communications who I have always regarded as a highly professional company at the top of their game. Having worked with Quinto on multiple projects over the past two decades, I know that they can deliver technical expertise and a superb local service for our customers in Australia and New Zealand. It is a pleasure to be working with Quinto and I am looking forward to many future years in partnership with them.”

FOCAL International’s annual awards celebrate the some of the greatest achievements made by audio-visual libraries in a diverse range of categories. This year, we were delighted to discover that several of our customers and their projects had been nominated for awards at FOCAL International’s annual ceremony. In the category ‘Best Archive and Preservation Project’, which was incidentally sponsored by Prasad Corporation, we were even more delighted, when on opening the golden envelope, it was announced that ‘The Memory of Justice’ had been chosen as the winner by the judges, all respected professionals from the international footage community.

It’s always good to hear about the work that our customers do using dft film scanners. If you’d like us to feature your work, we’d love to include it, so please keep us up to date!

‘The Memory of Justice’, created in 1976 by Marcel Ophüls, examines three of the defining tragedies of the Western World in the second half of the 20th century, from the Nuremberg trials through the French-Algerian war to Vietnam, building from a vast range of interviews, from Telford Taylor (Counsel for the Prosecution at Nuremberg, later a harsh critic of US’s escalating involvement in Vietnam) to Nazi architect Albert Speer to Daniel Ellsberg and Joan Baez.
