He is sort of an artisan and does very careful work, a real lab guy that listens to what you want, and his prices are very good. Also he works right in the heart of midtown Manhattan so you can meet him and discuss what you want. They also do video color correction, 2K/4K scans and film outs to 16mm and 35mm. A small lab dedicated to the independent filmmaker. There are many good labs out there and others may have their preferences but with very few exceptions Jack's first answer prints have been spot on perfect for me every time. I've been with him for over ten years now. -Pip ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
Re: [Frameworks] Looking for a good lab
Hi, Lourdes, It really depends on location, money and how much care you want. On the boutique scale, I assume Film Technology still does 16mm. You can start with my friend Zac Fink at filmtech...@earthlink.net. They did the 16mm fine grain on KILLER OF SHEEP before they blew it up to 35mm. You also might want to try Fotokem. They're larger, but they've done excellent work for us. (EXILES, ARAYA, CONNECTION, ORNETTE.) My email-friend there is Kim Young (kyo...@fotokem.com). You can say I sent you with either one. On the East Coast, I like Cineric, Colorlab and Cinema Arts.

Re: [Frameworks] Looking for a good lab
Hi Dennis, Thank you so much. This is for NYMoMA where I just had a Retrospective and they are acquiring eight of my films for their archives, so it is really good work that I need. I also have some films on video, and wonder if it's better to deliver them in DigiBeta or in a a drive? Do you have any suggestions of what might be better? I will call both of your contacts and check it out and tell them you sent me. I thank you very much.

Re: [Frameworks] Looking for a good lab
Dear Lourdes, In any agreement with MOMA, make sure the contract specifies that your films will be available for rental in the distribution catalogue effective X date, and they will always keep prints/tapes available for rent. And other details. MoMA is happy to throw things in their archive never to be seen again, if they don¹t have extra copies available for rent. They have all sorts of things that no one can actually access or view (except in their collection in Pennsylvania or wherever it is).

I suspect the archivists on this list (like Mark Toscano and Andrew Lampert) would have good ideas as well. As for the video, I would talk to MoMA's Katie Trainor (katie_trai...@moma.org) -- another old friend and head of their archive -- and see what they would like. Getting them digitized properly would be good for distribution later on but I suspect they will want tape.
