The Cranes are Flying is presented in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.33:1. This new digital transfer was created on a high-definition Spirit Datacine from a new 35mm composite fine-grain print made by Mosfilm, Russia. To further enhance the image, the MTI Digital Restoration System was used to remove thousands of instances of dirt, debris, and scratches. The soundtrack was mastered at 24-bit; audio restoration tools were used to remove clicks, pops, hiss, and crackle.
