I tried to understand who was the editor of my recent Raider of The Lost Ark Super 8 feature and found on the forum it is a
"Jörg Harnischmacher" print

Searching with google I found only a reference to a German based company called "Jörg Harnischmacher, Film + Av-Technik"...

Who knows more about them?

What titles they printed in Super 8?

Are they still operative?

Thanks
Flavio

Hello,

Jörg Harnischmacher was in the 80s in film business. He sold equipment and released some films.

One was the full length feature of The neverending story in CS.

He is no longer in business because he died. [Frown]

Hi Ralf,

I know that also THE MASK OF ZORRO exists as a polyester copy and I always thought it was a CHC release, but now I'm wondering if the polyester print could a Harnischmacher print, leaving the acetate to CHC...

Any confirmation?

Posted by Ralf Hoff (Member # 36) on December 17, 2011, 12:23 PM:

Hello Flavio,

hope you are fine.

To your question:

Mask of zorro was not a print of Harnischmacher. At the time this title was released he was already dead and my friend who know him has confirmed that only this four films has been released by this company:

1) Indy I
2) Indy II
3) The neverending Story
4) ET

The mask of zorro was available on acetate and polyester. The polyester material was by fuji film as far as I know.

Hope this helps.

By the way: wish you and your family ( [Confused]

) an merry christmas.
