It was during this time that the Mexican industry gained international recognition based on the quality of its cinematic offering as well as the speed at which it could deliver reels of film to theater. In fact, it was not unheard of the Mexican studio system to produce over 100 films per year during the 1950s employing a sophisticated system of studios, talented directors and actors. <\/p>\n<p>Sadly, many of these cultural gemstones are rapidly being lost to the ravages of time. Celluloid, when not properly stored, deteriorates due to environmental conditions and will rust, fade and ultimately disintegrate.\u00a0 Thankfully, Olympusat is fighting to preserve these historical works as quickly as possible by painstakingly restoring them frame by frame to their original splendor. Olympusat has over fifty professionals dedicated to fixing and preserving the catalog of classic Mexican cinema. To date, the company has restored and digitally transferred over 300 films for posterity to enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I feel we are restoring history, and by replenishing history through these films, we contribute to the preservation of culture for new generations,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Tom Mohler<\/span>, founder and CEO of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2514735-1&amp;h=1060117490&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.olympusat.com%2F&amp;a=Olympusat\" rel=\"nofollow\">Olympusat<\/a>.
