On Sunday 8 September and Sunday 15 September the BFI Conservation Centre will open its doors as part of the Heritage Open Days festival.

This year’s event will include displays and demonstrations from across our activities including film inspection, Special Collections, video and television preservation, BFI Reuben Library, BFI Replay, small gauge projection, mini tours of our film vault and a demonstration of the history of film on film in our theatre.
