I think he was referring to the color reversal film.  The B&W reversal film
is indeed standard and any lab running B&W reversal should have no problem
with it.

And Nicolas would give out the formula if you ask micely.

Re: [Frameworks] Svema 16mm

Svema was a Ukranian manufacturer that started out in the 1930s, but
their facility was completely replaced after the war when the Soviets
brought an Agfa plant back home from Germany.  They continued making
B&W stocks and Agfa ball-and-chain color stocks until the late 1990s
when they finally collapsed like many former Soviet combines.

The "Sovcolor" film stock that was used for most Soviet feature productions
was made by Svema.

For several years after the factory shut down, there was a fellow hanging
out on Usenet from the Svema factory who was trying to sell off their surplus
materials.

Any Svema film that you find on the market today will be very very old.
The color film is likely not to be processable easily (although it's not
rem-jet backed so if you could make up the chemistry from reagents you
could likely run it.)

Nicolas Rey shot his three-hour travel feature 
"Les Soviets Plus l'Electricité" on Sviema 
super-8 stock. The film includes a visit to the 
Sviema factory in Kiev where he was able to wrest 
the developing formula from Vladimir Ivanovitch. 
He hand-developed all the rolls back in Paris. 
This was color stock by the way.

require different chemicals and different times?___
