[Frameworks] 16mm camera repair & parts

[Sandra Maliga]

I definitely think there is a future for film as a fine arts medium.  
But I do not think colleges should be teaching 16mm filmmaking to  
every undergraduate in cinema.  I write as a person who taught film  
and video for 25 years.  Students in cinema history classes should be  
taught to appreciate film and studio arts students should experience  
handling film but kids who want to become media professionals do not  
need to make things on celluloid. The aesthetics  and techniques of   
film and photography can be taught using digital equipment.
