Tugas akhir ini membahas tentang kegiatan preservasi arsip film seluloid di Sinematek Indonesia seperti kondisi arsip film, proses preservasi arsip film, serta kendala yang dihadapi oleh Sinematek Indonesia. Pelaksanaan kegiatan preservasi film seluloid dilakukan sebagai salah satu upaya pelestarian terhadap warisan budaya visual Indonesia. Film merupakan salah satu artefak budaya yang patut untuk dilestarikan karena memiliki nilai estetika dan nilai fungsi yang berpengaruh pada perubahan budaya di Indonesia. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah observasi partisipasi, studi pustaka dan wawancara. Dengan observasi partisipasi, penulis ikut terlibat secara langsung dalam proses preservasi arsip film seluloid. Studi Pustaka digunakan sebagai pencarian referensi dari sumber-sumber buku dan literatur. Wawancara dilakukan dengan beberapa narasumber yang terlibat proses preservasi untuk mendukung kelengkapan data penelitian. Upaya pelestarian yang dilakukan oleh Sinematek Indonesia meliputi kegiatan konservasi, digitalisasi, restorasi dan memberikan akses kepada publik. Kegiatan konservasi dilakukan dengan melakukan tes keasaman secara rutin, rewinding dan cleaning, splicing film, serta menangani film yang terkena bakteri, jamur dan vinegar syndrome. Sedangkan untuk kegiatan digitalisasi dan restorasi, Sinematek Indonesia hanya berperan sebagai penyedia material film dan pelaksanaannya dilakukan oleh pihak luar. Kegiatan-kegiatan tersebut masih belum berjalan dengan optimal karena terkendala oleh dana, sumber daya manusia (SDM), serta rendahnya apresiasi dan dukungan dari masyarakat dan pemerintah.
