It was to be an event like no other, and in evidence of that fact, a crew of cameramen were on hand in Washington, DC at the Shoreham Hotel’s West Ballroom on the 4th of July 1958 — their cameras about to immortalize, in full sound and color, a monumental series of lectures by L. Ron Hubbard.
And now, through use of specially developed digital techniques, each film has been carefully brought back to its original grandeur.
More than a half-million frames of original negatives were cleaned and then digitally scanned at the highest resolution
attainable. And considering a film is actually a series of individual photographs — 24 per second — that means the cleaning and scanning of 518,000 frames.
The restored film brings LRH and the Clearing Congress to all Scientologists today just as it took place in 1958.
The Clearing Congress Films on DVD are the ultimate answer to what it was like to be there with LRH.
See and experience the Clearing Congress. Package includes 6 filmed lectures on DVD and 3 lectures on compact disc, a special supplement containing photos from the original Congress, the transcript of the films for your reference and study and all pertinent issues from the time period.

Digitally Restored
Over half a million frames of original negatives were painstakingly cleaned by hand in a Clean Room environment worthy of NASA, and scanned at the highest resolution possible—frame by frame.
In total, over 10 million particles of dust, smudges and dirt were removed one by one from those half-million frames.
More than 75 terabytes of memory was used, or over 25 times what was utilized to produce the special effects for the Titanic film.
In addition to dirt removal, restoration of the original Clearing Congress films included image sharpening, color restoration and repair of torn negatives and film “jitter,” overexposure and other flaws.
