Apologies if this has been addressed before, but is it still possible to rent 16mm prints in the UK? Any leads would be appreciated.

The British Film Institute still seem to offer 16mm film hire.

The only source I'd heard about of late years was Filmbank who ceased hiring just a few years ago and BFI who some seem to think have a few titles but when I asked they said they no longer hire anything.

David, that's a great idea! I'd love to catalogue your collection, would be a wonderful way to keep those prints alive.

BFI 16mm rental. There may only be a couple of pages worth. I put '16mm' in the search box. This is the contact for 35mm and 16mm.
