The BBC reports on a flash, state-of-the-art storage facility in the English countryside – the British Film Institute’s Master Film Store – which this month, September 2011, will begin to ensure the safety of fragile items in the BFI’s film archive: eventually, as many as 450,000 canisters of film.

Earth Times reports on the facility, too, with cool pix.
