[Frameworks] 35mm/16mm screening space

[Bernard Roddy]

I would love to be a part of this collective for sharing prints.
Totally dead-on idea.

I do not own camera gear beyond a regular 16 bell and Howell wind up and some super 8 cameras. ‎ I shoot so many different formats that camera gear is impossible to keep up with! The Atlantic film co-op still has 16, 35 and Super 8 camera gear and I have been loosely planning a project with a local film maker who has her own 35mm kit.

I would like to explore the idea of a film print Collector's Collective, where collectors can share, trade and screen each other's prints, and there is a central database of some sort. It is impossible for each collector to be able to afford a complete library, but we all have an interest in seeing these prints screened, and distributors are quickly getting out of film based product.  It would be interesting to hear thoughts from the frameworks group on this topic.
