I have been thinking about the future of humanity and the cultural importance of films. My goal is to attempt to preserve the original theatrical cut of Star Wars for the next 10,000 years.

Possible methods could be:

  • M-Discs containing a RAW copy of the movie, complete with instructions for decoding binary, or in a compressed codec with additional instructions on how to decode the specific codec.

  • Physically printed frames on archival paper, film, or other long-lasting formats, including instructions to simulate motion. Sound waveforms and instructions on how to interpret them would also be necessary.

Are there any better, more efficient, or more future-proof methods (considering change in technology, understanding, etc) that would help to ensure that our descendants get to see the art that shaped who we were? I am very invested in making this project a reality, and would love dedicated members here to pitch in their ideas and practical advice.
