Editing Baraka (film) (section)

==Reissue==
Following previous [[DVD-Video|DVD]] releases, in 2007 the original 65&nbsp;mm negative was rescanned at [[8K resolution]] with equipment designed specifically for ''Baraka'' at [[FotoKem|FotoKem Laboratories]]. The automated 8K [[Motion picture film scanner|film scanner]], operating continuously, took more than three weeks to finish scanning more than 150,000 frames (taking approximately twelve to thirteen seconds to scan each frame), producing over thirty [[terabyte]]s of image data in total.

After a 16-month [[digital intermediate]] process, including a 96&nbsp;kHz/24-bit audio [[Mastering (audio)|remaster]] by Stearns for the [[DTS-HD Master Audio]] [[Baraka: Music from the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack|soundtrack]], the result was re-released on DVD and [[Blu-ray]] in October 2008. At the time, project supervisor Andrew Oran described the reissue of ''Baraka'' as "arguably the highest-quality DVD that's ever been made".<ref>{{Cite video |title=Baraka: "Restoration" feature documentary |date=2008 |last=Oran |first=Andrew |publisher=Magidson Films, Inc |medium=DVD/Blu-ray}}</ref> ''[[Chicago Sun-Times]]'' critic [[Roger Ebert]] described the Blu-ray release as "the finest video disc I have ever viewed or ever imagined."<ref name="roger_ebert">{{Cite web |url=https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/great-movie-baraka-1992 |title=Great Movies: Baraka (1992) |last=Ebert |first=Roger |author-link=Roger Ebert |date=16 October 2008 |publisher=[[RogerEbert.com]] |access-date=7 February 2018}}</ref>
