The Italian film manufacturing firm, Ferrania, have started a Kickstarter campaign as of today to rescue "Trixie" (large scale triacetate base production machinery), "Walter" (high volume chemical synthesis lab) and "Big Boy" (industrial film coating facility). $21,520 has been pledged of a $250,000 goal. The amount increased by $3,759 by the time I finished formatting this news.
Their first limited release will be a "re-engineered version of ScotchChrome - a 100 ASA, daylight-balanced Color Reversal (chrome or slide) film, developed by the Imation company in the late-1990s and produced by Ferrania until 2003. We will package this film into four formats, 135, 120, Super 8 and 16mm." https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/filmferrania/100-more-years-of-analog-film _______________________________________________ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
