I was looking at the box to one of my Cineavision prints (Rooster Cogburn with yes ... excellent colors!! [Big Grin] ) ...

... and I really hadn't noticed it before, but it states ...

"Dane's Film Services"

So, it is or was a UK film dealer, but can anybody give some more info on this place?

Just curious [Smile]

Dane Film Services were at Indian Queens, St. Columb, Cornwall. They distributed films on Super 8 and 16mm.

Osi

Dane Films was UK dealer called Ron Browning based in Indian Queens in Cornwall. He never released super 8 but distributed other companies releases new prints under the title Dane Films . He also bought and sold second hand titles under the Highgate Films.

A salty character good at times but could also be bad.

I bought a used print of the DFS 2 x 400 Scope version "The Great Escape" from Highgate Films ( aka Dane ).

I still have it on an 800' spool. Not watched it in years and I expect it will faded by now.

I used to get regular lists from Dane which I think I still have somewhere to get box filed.

Sorry i don't have any screenshots, but you have inspired me and i think I might try to do a youtube video of this digest if i can get that FLIP camera to give me some good color. It makes almost everything look "fadey" even when it has very good color. We'll see!

I bought a few new print from Dane and the most notable thing I can say about them was that they sold "imports" that genuinely were imports! They offered certain prints from the USA around 1987, during the last days of new US releases, that were not offered by Derann and or probably any other UK dealer. I think some were Thunderbird trailer reels - but not from Thunderbird (who had gone out of business, like nearly all US distributors) but from the company that had obtained some Thunderbird masters. I think this may have been called Moorcraft. The most obscure item I still have is a 'Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home' (1986) production short that's video to film, but still nice to have because it's so unusual. I've never seen one offered since and I'm not sure who released it.
