Hello all,
I just subscribed to frameworks. I am a visual artist and filmmaker based in Berlin, Germany. I heard of your list through a Chicago-based filmmaker friend of line, Peter MIller.
I have a tough one... I am looking for a laboaratory in or outside of the US that has film tinting capabilities, i.e. the tinting of b&w footage with color dyes. This was a process much practised in the early days of cinema, to add expressive quality to specific scenes, and also—to my knowledge—to discriminate original films from unauthorised copies.
This is a rather obsolete process. The only filmmakers I know of who used it are the Milan-based couple Ricci&Gianikian.
Would anyone have a tip here?
Thanks, all best,
Marco
