What would be the most recent feature film that would have been in print on 16mm? Just sort of curiouse really. [Smile]

Any ideas?

I don't know for certain but I think the general consensus is that it was CARS in 2006.

I did hear from somebody,I can't remember who, said that there were prints made in oz as late as 2008 but I may have mis-heard it getting mixed up with something completly different. Can anybody from that side of the world shed any light on this?

I think there was and still is 16mm in Aussie, we had it here in NZ until about 05/06 no one was renting it so the film distributors droped it, I know there is the odd art film / student film that comes around on 16mm for the film fest here.
Still several cinemas here with pro 16mm gear installed.

Thanks Patrick, I find this very interesting, it seems to me that 16mm is still just holding on by the skin of it's teeth but not for long though.
