CONTENTS
- Two tests on a new film stock: ORWO NC500. When does a new color negative film arrive on the market? Here it is: the NC500 in 16mm, which cannot be called ORWO. Our American and German testers examined the film under the microscope. Is development better in ECN-2 or C-41? How does NC500 differ from Kodak films? Is this material suitable for self-developing?
- X-ray vision. Spanish artist Max de Esteban has closely studied cameras and projectors. He breaks them down into layers, spray-paints them white, photographs them, and assembles them into special X-ray images. Why does he do this?
- Andreas Marschall: Filmmaker from the dark side. Monsters, myths, and neuroses: the cinematic universe of Andreas Marschall from Berlin. He has already shot more than 100 music videos, many on Super 8, and several feature films. But it all started with album covers and film posters he drew. An interview about his work and his latest project, created in Russia. On Fomapan.
- Thriller on 150 Super 8 cartridges. A Super 8 film in theaters? Emil Ink from the United States did it. A film shot on 150 Super 8 cartridges, for which he was able to hire a renowned American actor. The thriller is currently being released in the United States.
- Another feature film: Single-8. Who remembers the 2011 Super 8 feature film directed by J.J. Abrams and produced by Steven Spielberg? A similar film was made in Japan: the Single-8 feature, which also includes scenes shot with Single-8. It also tells the story of young people filming with Single-8 cameras in 1978.
- Fighting cartridge jamming! What to do when the film doesn't run properly in the Super-8 cartridge?
- The Eumig Nautica and the Skeleton. A film shot underwater: the Eumig museum in Austria stages a fascinating story in the nearby pond.
- Authentic cinematic rendering in 2K. The Berlin digitization company screenshot has acquired the latest scanner from MWA, called Nova. Mario Loose, the director of screenshot, talks about his experience with the device: "Finally an authentic cinematic rendering," he concludes.
