AGFA MOVIECHROME 40 - Super 8 cine film. Does anyone still develop this type of film?

[Grant Millar]

Hi Kevin, Winbert, Dominique and Joerg,

Thank you for your very helpful comments!

Yes, not all the film has been used. It's just around 2 minutes of footage - but it's very precious footage.

I'm going to contact all of the places that you've so kindly suggested.

Best regards,
Grant.

Agfa used different colour couplers to those used by Kodak and other films which used the E6 process and therefore needed a different type of colour developing agent to get the colour couplers to work correctly. For this reason I'm not sure you will find anyone that can develop it in colour. Fingers crossed that maybe you will find someone.

Spectra Film & Video in California USA, process a list of Expired, old out of date films including Kodachrome in B&W,
they may also process old Agfa Films too.

Hi Everyone,

Just a note to say that the Film Rescue office in The Hague have replied to say that they can develop AGFA MOVIECHROME 40 Super 8 cine film.

The film is of great value to its owner, so she'll be thrilled about this.

Thank you, again, for your very helpful comments. Without your advice, I would still be searching the world for a processing lab!

Best regards,
Grant.

Thank you, Rodney! I'll go and have a look at this. Best regards, Grant.

Thanks, Kevin! The Film Rescue folk in The Hague say they can do it, although it will be sent to the lab in Canada for the actual developing. Regards, Grant.

Grant, that's really good news. Lets hope it all goes well and you get some reasonable results.

Thanks, Kevin! The place in Ruislip can develop the film in black and white, but not in colour. So the Netherlands and Canada, it is! Fingers crossed!
