What 16mm Films Did You See Last Night?

[Can Sanalan]

Yes, it's low fade, AG2S.
I was curious cause I'm noticing a lot AGFA films have this very faint purple tint to them.

Last night I watched Witness (1985) with Harrison Ford. This has been a favorite movie of mine and I love now having it on 16mm. The sound track is English with foreign subs. Color and contrast is very good.

Earlier this week I celebrated Fathers Day for my dad by screening the 1969 western/adventure film MacKenna’s Gold!

Last night I watched an educational film I just bought: The Ecology of Barrier Islands.

Now, I'll grant you this is not exactly Charlton Heston in The Ten Commandments, but maybe even on a personal level, this worked for me. I live on the Atlantic coast and a lot of the locations look a lot like places I've grown up with. The scenery was wonderful and the film itself was beautifully filmed.

-and just maybe I...learned a couple of things!

Student Prince - managed to buy it on a local auction recently and is one of my favourite films! Picture is a bit soft and the last reel has bad scratch down the middle, but beggars can't be choosers, so I will live with that and simply enjoy it!

Some pics from the screening:








The video projector is permanently mounted, but the 8mm and 16mm projectors come out when needed:

Lili 1953 - also purchased recently and was a first time viewing and really enjoyed the film:

Had a mate around from work who wanted to see my IB tech print of Bullitt, although i already viewed this one recently, i was more than happy for a repeat viewing, a classic film on great stock and in very good condition.

Outstanding print Tom!

[Tom Photiou]

Thanks Janice, glad to see you finally got your print of witness, as you know i have this title and i couldn't part with it for the foreseeable future.

Tonight: New Zealand: the Land and its People

This is kind of an 8mm Forum inspired print! I'm not saying I wouldn't have bought it without Graham Ritchie telling us here about his homeland, but it was certainly an incentive!

Lincoln Thorn Love that film, great it's in scope. 👍

Tonight:

Confessions of a Train Spotter: Michael Palin's epic journey from London to Scotland with side trips through the world (-and the minds) of railway fans. He takes side trips to a heritage line, the Railway Museum at York, and he rides on an excursion behind the Flying Scotsman.

Confession of a Film Collector:
This wonderful print came from E-bay but is only part one. While I certainly hope Mr. Palin was successful in his journey, until Part 2 pops up (-someday...maybe), I can't be 100% sure he ever got to Scotland!

That's why film collecting these days is a little like fishing: you know what you want, but sometimes you just reel in whatever is swimming past and decide to want that!
