We are a highly skilled moving image conservation and restoration company, partly operating at the Lichtspiel in Bern, Switzerland. Our team provides worldwide comprehensive services that encompass the whole range of audio-visual preservation, offering Swiss quality at a competitive price. We have a particular commitment to the dissemination of low-technology and low-energy audio-visual conservation and restoration techniques. We support open-source projects which we believe are beneficial for the archival community. We are running the Swiss Film and Video Directory.
A Historical NoteAfter eight years of activity, the old company reto.ch Sàrl has been closed at the end of 2012. A new company AV Preservation by reto.ch Sàrl has opened at the beginning of 2013 at the same address with the same staff and an improved digital offer, yet without the analogue film lab. Two years later we moved to a smaller facility. At the beginning of 2020 we have closed the analogue video department and moved from Écublens to Préverenges. And from March 2023, our boutique workshop for conservation and restoration is partly operating at the Lichtspiel in Bern, while our research remains in the Lausanne region. 2023-12-24 |
