Digitization and Immersive Presentation of the Film Heritage: “Cabiria,” a Silent Film from 1914

What is SPARK?

The SPARK project aims to develop and validate innovative technological solutions designed to promote the film *Cabiria* (1914) through heritage digitization systems, AI, VR, and 3D scanning. This will be achieved through processes focused on the enhancement, communication, and education regarding the tangible and intangible heritage associated with the film, with a view toward social inclusion, environmental sustainability, and the promotion of well-being among diverse groups of users. EHT, thanks to its ability to design and coordinate the implementation of advanced technological solutions and its established experience in the fields of innovation, digitization, and particularly data analysis, will be responsible for the design, development, and management of the platform and digital services envisaged by the SPARK project, ensuring an optimal environment for collaboration and knowledge sharing for all stakeholders involved.
