Abstract: Long-term preservation of digital film productions is a challenging task. Conventional storage media with relatively limited lifetimes require data migration at certain time intervals. As a result, today's digital archives need permanent care, maintenance, and thus financial resources. On the other hand, many cinematographic film materials offer an excellent long-term stability, and traditional archiving of the (analog) film negatives is both a safe and cost-effective long-term storage solution. This paper discusses an innovative approach that aims at using these well-established film materials for storage of digital data by means of “Bits on Film.” Various arrangements of the digital data on the film are suggested, optionally also with analog image information on the same medium. A major focus of the paper is on possible applications including a discussion of their practical relevance.
