National Film Heritage Mission NFHM Logo and Tagline Competition 2015

National Film Heritage Mission Logo and Tagline Competition 2015: National Film Heritage Mission (NFHM) is a mission under National Film Archive of India (NFAI), Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Government of India. This mission aims at Restoration, Preservation, Digitization and Conservation of the rich film content in the Country. Films are cultural artifacts created by specific cultures and reflect those cultures. Thousands of feature films have been made in India since 1913 and including short/ documentary films are made each year in various languages. While film negatives and prints are a perishable item, their decay can be controlled and therefore delayed substantially in the correct conditions maintained for preservation.

This National Film Heritage Mission NFHM Logo and Tagline Competition has been a serious challenge in India and lack of adequate preservation facilities only hastened the loss of a large part of India’s film heritage. Perhaps a major reason for this lacuna in India (as opposed to the situation in other countries) was the fact that most producers tend to view film as a commercial venture alone, to the exclusion of the cultural aspect of cinema, and have therefore tended not to focus on the need for preservation.
