What Do Pokemon Cards Mean

the film print: next stop - terminus station

When I am about the recent Berlinale with JPG, the chair of the Cinema Museum Berlin eV, met - as was the future margin of the audiovisual media, film process, a topic of conversation. Of course, some truth to JPGs argument that more than 85% of all commercially operated theaters worldwide are working with film.

I liked for a prognosis, how long to be copied and distributed to print film is, I admit, however, only on a six-month intervals. And patter the messages currently in the same constant sequence start: first

The German film processing plants now seem an order slowdown in 35-mm productions in terms of evolution have led to negative. The new large chip cameras such as RED, Alexa and the new AF-101 Panasonic cut sharply from the office. There will be more and more as a filmmaker "improper" nor to continue working with film - see also the recent discussion about the ban on Super16-negative materials due to "compression artifacts in film grain", so really for excessive low data rates. The murmur of the "film look" is so far died away, that you almost certainly can not remember it.

second The trade press can currently be seen that, for example, the 35-mm print departments to Geyer's successor company in Hamburg and Munich are to be pulled together to Berlin and consolidated, or already have.

third The UK Guardian yesterday brought a very personal contribution the film artist Tacita Dean, after which the last remaining film lab with 16-mm print department (and positive) tract in the UK, the former 'Soho Film Laboratory', - after acceptance by the Deluxe Corporation (and, therefore, now renamed the 'deluxe Soho ') has closed with immediate effect, the 16-mm-Positive Division:

I am very happy that we could write to the output 8 of the "Wonders of the cinematography," a brief 'history of film processing plant' and it sat so still a small memorial:

time it would now, if put on a list which film processing plants in the wide world can ever offer something of classic film lab services. Formulated the other way around, past the dogs would not bite, but may have a tolerable livelihood may be the remaining market of film artists, lovers and other 'crazy' divide.


remains completely unanswered the question of what the whole flood of video / digital works and other moving image materials selected curatorial and conservation, with a certain chance to be saved and protected material and can be. We are approaching

uns schwarz bleibenden Zeiten vor lauter Bildschirm-Blendung.
