Hasashi Okajima has been chief curator at the National Film Center of the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo since 1979. During this period he has also worked as a critic for various specialised magazines and written articles on films and trends in cinema.
When he began working there in 1979 the concept of a film archive didn’t really exist. He describes how, “the National Film Centre was just a place where they screened a series of films, it was a cinematheque. We did have a collection of films, but nothing comparable to the Filmoteca Española or the Cinémathèque Française. We didn’t preserve the copies properly. In 1984 there was a fire and many copies were lost. After this we decided to learn about preserving films properly".
He recognises that digital technology is important and useful because it can restore films much better than we can do using traditional methods. “But it is a very expensive process and we can’t afford to do it with every film, so we need to get the message across that we mustn’t throw away any original films; we need to preserve them".
