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.

Cost Of A Remington 870 Mcs

stream restoration in the Esslinger industrial area

A walk through an industrial area is not necessarily what people think of as a joy-making hobby. In today's post we still want to make an exception and once by the Esslingen Neckar meadows business park go.

reason for today's walk is the imminent opening of new sidewalks along two streams that have been rehabilitated. The proposed route runs along a large part of the water, either along the Neckar river, or along one of the two renatured streams. The business park itself occurs in this context something back and Walk turns out to be quite rewarding enterprise.

The two streams that have been rehabilitated to sections Neckar meadows in the industrial area, are the Haines and the Zellerbach. As part of the 1.22 million-euro measure was the Haines on a length of 200 meters, renatured, the Zellerbach even on a length of 900 meters. Renatured parallel to the water courses were new (gravel) anglegt way.

But there is another special feature of this walk. As of 22/02/2011, only the path along the stream is open grove. The road along the Zellerbach is largely complete, but still closed. The completion of the work is targeted for end of February 2011 (no guarantee). It is therefore advisable to wait a couple of days, then increase with warmer temperatures have the new ways in appearances.

The mouth of the creek in the grove Neckar Neckar meadows at the business park renatured.
The Haines was Neckar meadows in the business park on a length of 200 meters renatured.
Comfortable gravel paths now accompany the renatured portions of Haines and Zellerbach.
View from the Zeppelin road to the restored Zellerbach and the new footpath.
view from the Fritz-Müller-Strasse to a portion of the renatured Zellerbach. In the background, turn and river walk in front of the railway line to the right.
Partial proceeds of the Zellerbach along the railway line Stuttgart-Plochingen.
The proposed walk is basically a continuation of the walk in the Post, 03/09/2010. At that time it went from station to station Esslingen Oberesslingen. Today it's the station Oberesslingen to the station cell.

the S-Bahn station Oberesslingen (S1), it is down to the pedestrian underpass and then turns southwest towards the industrial area. The tunnel ends at the Fritz-Müller-Str. Follow the Fritz-Müller-Strasse few meters to the right (direction Stuttgart) on the railway line and turn left into the street index. It leads to the Neckar river.

on the Neckar River, turn left and follow the footpath up to the confluence of the Neckar Haines and the road running parallel to Lilienthal. Now it takes a detour and follow the new footpath along the Haines to the railway line. From there, you go back to the Neckar.

is on the riverside path is now on neckar up. Just before the bridge is Sirnau left portion of the renatured Zellerbach. We carefully crossed the road Zeppelin and then follows the new Zeller walk along the stream. Here is crossed later, the Fritz-Müller-Strasse, go straight along the stream behind it, turn before the railway line from the right and reaches the end of the renatured section, the rail road, which is initially only one walk. Follow the trail and later the road is always parallel to the railway line and then reaches the cell station (S1). The path from station to station Oberesslingen cell is 3.6 kilometers.

Meet And Greet Baby Greeting

Manfred Salzgeber - biography and bio-doc still missing

Egbert Hörmann's brief hommage article on Manfred Salzgeber is an interesting read from Berlinale's Teddy Award journal at its 25th anniversary run. However it reminds me urgently that an in-depth and detailed written biography on Manfred Salzgeber is still missing after all these years. Manfred Salzgeber was one of the outmost inspirators of its time for bringing German cinema culture, festival curatorship and film publishing to new horizons.

Indeed he was bringing "the salt" into a still grey everyday life soup of Stuttgart and Berlin during the 1960s and 1970s -- before becomming internationally known and renowned as the sidekick of the Berlinale and Moritz de Hadeln during the 1980s in his own right.

Two years ago I publicly questioned that a bio-doc (or even bio-doc series regarding all things considered) on Manfred Salzgeber and on his life, work and influence until today is also still missing sadly:
http://kinoberlin.blogspot.com/2009/02/manfred-salzgeber.html

The reactions after my call made it clear to me that there seems to be a sort of local conflict in multiple perspectives and consisting of several different interest parties involved: the hiers, their inheritance, the remaining artefacts and their legal rights, the commercial continuation of Salzgeber's film distribution, the Berlin International Film Festival and its sudden interest in current Kiezkino but not in their own history track, the Panorama section with the successor of M.S., the Teddy Awards merchandize and now the forthcoming Teddy Academy, plus local Public Radio Television with their archives, licensing strategies and program policies.

So, unfortunatly, it seems continiously that it might not be a comfortable choice to be right in the middle of such an intense conflict of interests with such mighty powerful parties. However this strugge for a Salzgeber biopic becoming real might be a doc (or even a feature movie) in itself, on the Berlin 'Hauptstadtgefühl' with this everlasting presence of the present while neglecting history.
