Hello all,
I've been experimenting with various alternative formulas for black and white
developing that involve non-toxic household chemistry but I am curious if
anyone has done so for color film?
Also, why and how do onions work as a fixer? How do you prepare them to do
so? I know an extreme salt solution (extreme as in you put in so much salt the
water can't take it anymore) will work too but it takes a long time (2 days I
heard). How long do onions take? Isn't the real danger from fixer the metallic
silver that needs to be properly disposed of?
Finally, has anyone come up with a good substitute for r-9 or r-10 bleach in
the bw reversal process.
Thanks
Kathryn

Good Evening Frameworkers,
I'd like to extend to you all an invitation to take part in *The GrandFlower
Ceremony *on* Sunday, July 8th *at* Millenium Film Workshop* in Manhattan.
To participate, *please bring in any ORIGINAL 16mm film that you would be
willing to sacrifice and destroy in our ritual bleach bath*.
Let me explain a bit further:
The GrandFlower is a ritual honoring the detritus of analogue film
production. *We are looking for your scraps, outtakes, failures, and
various other lost, found and forgotten 16mm footage. * We ask that you
bring this film to our service, that you allow us to screen it one final
time, and then we ask that you let it go. We hope to bring honor to your
images and to thrill ourselves in the presence of something that is truly
fleeting. Our vehicle of sacrifice is a translucent plexiglass structure
modeled after the continuous processing machines from which these films
were born, and *as our ceremony progresses you will be able observe your
film emulsion dissolve before your eyes. * You can see the destroyer at
work here: https://vimeo.com/28390514
Our ceremony starts promptly at 8pm. Libations will be provided. All are
welcome.
A few specifications for the sacrifice:
* *Sacrificial film can be of any length*, from single frames (with a
little leader at the head and tail please) to several minutes of footage.
* You are welcome to shoot new roll for the ceremony or to edit a real from
multiple rolls of film.
* Please bring ORIGINAL 16mm film only. No dupes, no prints please (We'd
like to make this a sacrifice in true, and its just not the same if theres
back-up)
* You will be asked to say a few words for your film before it screens.
*Admission is free for those who bring film.
Here's hoping to see you there,
Josh Lewis
NY, NY
P.S. we're also looking for a few more ushers to facilitate our services,
if interested, email me: [email protected]

Hello,
I'm starting to look into buying an optical printer and would love any
leads. Also curious about resources for maintenance/service as the one I
used in the past was maintained by university staff. I'm located in
Minnesota near the Twin Cities - anyone know of any in the area (or not in
the area)?
Thanks very much,
Laska
