On Location

Our archival specialists in Casablanca and Rabat preserve camera negatives, masters and project elements to long-term standards, aligned with the practices of the CCM, which maintains Morocco's national film archive.

Here is how this works in practice. We deliver archive and preservation services that secure a production's assets long after delivery. The list covers first camera files, conformed masters, audio stems, project files, VFX elements and supporting records. Our team builds ordered, well-described archive packages, manages many storage copies across separate locations, and follows recognised standards for file integrity, checksums and migration so material stays readable as formats evolve. Productions that shoot across Morocco.

Here is the layout. On the ground, At Ouarzazate, Aït Benhaddou or in the Sahara — create large volumes of high-resolution media, and a structured archive protects that investment for re-releases, sequels, restorations and licensing. We also handle the ingest and cataloguing of legacy material, preparing older film and tape elements for digitisation and long-term digital preservation.

Here is how this works in practice. Film preservation is part of Morocco's national cultural infrastructure. The CCM, the Centre Cinématographique Marocain, is the national film authority and keeps the country's film archive, holding decades of Moroccan cinema and the records of global shoots serviced here. Archive work supports that heritage — Morocco's long history of hosting epics from 'Gladiator' to HBO's 'Game of Thrones'. The today's work of auteurs such as Maryam Touzani, whose 'The Blue Caftan' reached Cannes, deserves preservation to today's standards.

Here is how the work shapes up. On the ground, Data handling for archived material is set by Law 09-08 and run by the CNDP, the national data-protection commission, and we manage assets and personal data to match. We help global and local clients set up durable, well-logged archives that keep their shoots easy to reach and covered for the long term.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is LTO tape archiving?

Here is the breakdown. LTO (Linear Tape-Open) is the industry standard for long-term media archiving. LTO tapes give top longevity (30+ years), high capacity, and low cost per terabyte. We use LTFS (Linear Tape File System) which makes tapes as easy to use as hard drives while giving the security gains of offline storage.

How do you ensure data integrity over time?

Here is what that looks like on the ground. We implement many safeguards including checksum verification at each stage, redundant copies stored in different locations, site-level tracking of storage facilities, and regular integrity checks. Our systems automatically flag any issues so they can be addressed before data loss occurs.

What happens when formats become obsolete?

Here is how the picture comes together. We proactively monitor format lifecycles and plan migrations before obsolescence becomes key. Our preservation strategy has keeping access to legacy playback systems and systematically migrating content to today's formats when appropriate, making sure your content stays easy to reach no matter technology changes.

Can you help organize and catalog existing archives?

Here is what we have to work with. Yes, we give complete digital asset management services including cataloging existing archives, creating searchable metadata databases, and implementing MAM systems. We can help transform disorganized media libraries into well-structured, easily easy to reach archives with full search skills.

Productions in Morocco that need this often pair it with Broadcast Delivery Services, Digital Cinema Package (DCP), and Format Conversion & Encoding Services for full coverage. Most projects also draw on Delivery & Output Services and Audio Mixing & Mastering.
