Talking to Steve (the Derann staff member who looks after 16mm) at the BFCC, I was surprised to learn that Derann have sold "hundreds" of 16mm prints of the 'Flavour of the Month' reel (which has about 10 mins of nostalgic ads, etc, from the 1960s). I knew it was a popular item on S8 but I had no idea that so many would be bought on 16mm.
This got me thinking that a new idea for a convention show of about 45 mins might be to screen some of the shorts and trailers available new on 16mm from Derann and classic. I know that some of these prints are impressive but I expect a lot of collectors have never seen them. I'd welcome any thoughts on this from John, Derann staff or anyone that attends conventions.
I didn't put this in the 16mm section, as convention supporters are more likely to see it here!
