Frameworkers,
I just received a mess of telecine'd color super16mm footage from the lab
and was more than a bit sad to see a long parade of emulsion-side
horizontal blue scratches on the right 1/4th of the frame. I shot about
2.5 hours of footage with an Aaton Minima (a camera I wouldn't really
Tetzlaff's remarks are not cynical, but realistic. Most of us who have lived
through the period he outlines know that it's true.
One element he doesn't account for is that experimental film screenings, as
events, are significant art world social experiences. And where we still find

Well done, well said. David, I found your summation very comforting, not
because of its prediction, but because it states clearly the situation at
hand for us all to recognize. Recognition is the beginning of the way to a
solution to my mind.
Thanks.

A silent musical comedy? Is there an optical soundtrack? Nitrate was common up
until the early 50's, way past the silent era.
If I were you I'd get rid of it. A funky looking roll of nitrate is no joke.
But it sounds like it might be worthwhile to photograph those stalagmites on
the reel. Just
Dear Kristie,
In the case of nitrate (or any deteriorating film), it's always worth
talking to your local archive. In your case, that would be the Pacific Film
Archive and the best contact there would be Kathy Geritz.
Best regards,

Wow this is harsh and somewhat ridiculous. This reply, below, is the cynical
one. David has it absolutely right, his assessment rings true and it is based
in real world experience, not some pouting ideology. And he is a teacher, so I
do hope he is one who cares what students think today. Jeez
One of the things that I find curious is that you can rent a film print for a
fraction of the cost of renting a video copy. We were tracking down titles for
the curated shows at FLEXfest 2012 (which starts tonight, by the way), and we
discovered that we could get John Smith's Associations from

Hi,
It might be risky to work with this film. Does it smell and is it already
dissolving?
If it just the metal casing then there should be no problem.
I have restorated nitrate films from late Ottoman but they were kept in
good condition and
in new cases. If you can send a picture of it, the case
Contacting a local film archive is the best thing.
Its too dangerous to keep a nitrate if you don't have the right conditions.
Still too risky if you have.
There are ways of getting rid (destroy in a safe way) of a nitrate but you
need someone experienced.
I don't recommend transporting it.
Nitrate film can be dangerous, but if the film is in good condition, the
dangers that the press talk about are greatly exaggerated. There is a great
deal of nitrate film that has lasted over 100 years. If the reel of film
looks like a solid hockey puck, is glue like or there's a great deal of
dust
David has said the obvious--the "writing on the wall..."But hopefully, Canyon can find ways to stay viable--the idea that the most dependable distributor of 16mm prints of avant-garde films should be allowed to go out of business continues to seem to me a cultural disaster, and an unnecessary one.

I genuinely hope we can have a discussion, starting with the question of 'what
really matters?' I have my own thoughts, but I want to hear what other people
think and see if maybe some new ideas might emerge, you know, in dialogue.
Why is 'experimental film' important? Why does 'the world' need

I am beginning to look into the creation of (don't know what to call it) a
consortium of colleges, universities, archives, etcetera--places that want to

If the film looks to be in good shape, there is nothing to worry about. (My
first reel of nitrate I took on the bus to NYC.) But I would call up the
archives first, see who wants it, and arrange on where to meet there.
As for nitrate films catching fire in projection booths, fire was actually

Hello,
I recently received some Kodachrome that belonged to my great grandmother
and is very much past expiration date.
It is regular 8mm, I have two reels, one says develop before 1948 and the
other 1955.
I was wondering if there were any labs that might still process the
kodachrome...preferably

Hi,
Anyone tried the ECN-2 process? I believe it's quite complex, is there any
alternative processing techniques. Super 8mm Colour Neg.
