Student Resources

 

2023 - José Solé

Born in Mexico City, José Solé is a student at New York University’s Moving Image Archiving and Preservation (MIAP) program. Prior to beginning this master’s degree, he worked as film restorer at the Digital Restoration Laboratory of Mexico’s national film archives, the Cineteca Nacional. In that role, he had the opportunity to participate in the restoration of essential films in the history of Mexican cinema. During 2022, he attended The International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF) Restoration Summer School at L'Immagine Ritrovata film restoration laboratory in Bologna, Italy, where he deepened his knowledge of film restoration workflows. As a student in MIAP, he has interned in the media preservation department of The New York Public Library, the Prelinger Archives, and the Bay Area Video Coalition. His academic and professional background has provided him with thorough knowledge in the preservation of both film and magnetic-based moving image materials. These experiences have allowed him to work with and understand the importance of a variety of standards put forward by the SMPTE. As a recipient of the Louis F. Wolf Jr. Memorial Scholarship, he hopes to contribute to the safeguarding of historical, contemporary, and forthcoming audiovisual heritage.
