Tribeca Film Institute Launching Reframe
Tribeca Film Institute (TFI), the non-profit associate of the Tribeca Film Festival, is launching Reframe, an initiative to preserve film history. As part of the initiative, TFI will work with archives, distributors, and filmmakers to cull and digitize films to make them available for rent, purchase, or download.
Reframe converts videos to digital for free and will digitize films at cost- fees associated with conversion typically range from $5,000 to $10,000- for a reduced rate of approximately $300 dollars. Digital copy is then handed over to the filmmaker or rights-holder for free, allowing them to make content available in a nonexclusive arrangement. These files are then offered for sale to the public at a price loosely suggested by the rights-holder. In addition to DVD, consumers can pick up digital downloads to own or rent via Amazon's Unbox.
