[Frameworks] Analogue Film

[Jason Halprin]

It's worth noting for those in the US that Spectra Film & Video sells Fuji Velvia in Super 8.

Thanks Cherry,
 
The cost of individually importing film (and film accessories) to UK from continental Europe is exessive - I tried it a couple of times and came away with holes in my pockets. If only UK companies would be a little more outgoing and buy in some of these film stocks *in bulk* it would be a happy day all round. That Fuji Velvia exists as a motion picture film stock yet, as far as I know, is unavailable in Britain as cine film, says it all. 
 
Silverprint London (Waterloo) occasionally stock Foma film [Czech Republic] in b/w reversal, Standard 8, Double Super 8, and 16mm. This is great stuff I find and they also sell the chemistry to develop it. But the supply is sporadic. Possibly with dwindling reversal stocks the supply may improve and Foma may step up their production, what have they to lose? If only they could come up with a colour reversal film to match their b/w stock.
 
Fingers crossed for the future of reversal film.
