Re-outfitting the USS Arizona Memorial film
Sony Electronics, Sony Pictures, MTI Film, EFILM, Deluxe Laboratories, Chace Audio have all joined forces with the National Park Service to create a Digital Cinema presentation of the USS Arizona Memorial orientation film, made to commemorate the attack on Pearl Harbor and consisting of rare archival footage. A 35mm Interpositive made from the original negative of the film was scanned at 4K resolution at EFILM, where final color correction was also completed. MTI Film, working from the scanned files, digitally removed dirt, scratches, stains and other imperfections to the image. Due to the extreme damage inherent in much of the stock footage used in the body of the film, there was a conscious decision to only remove or repair items as seemed practical, with care taken not to denature the original experience of the film. Chace Audio restored the audio by removing pops, clicks, distortion and other anomalies to the original soundtrack, also creating a new 5.1 soundtrack in keeping with the original intentions of the filmmakers and sound designers. Deluxe Digital Cinema created the 4K Digital Cinema Package. This will be the premiere screening of the new 4K Digital Cinema presentation of the film.

Is there any way for me to acquire the film? I was so deeply moved after seeing it that I wanted to have a copy for myself. I did a little research and found it wasn't for sale. I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to get it.
