Hi Framewok Participiants,
I have an 16 mmm film let developed and the result was disgusting. Now I
want to paint on the film. Might it possible to tell me which ink is the
best for this?

All the best, but I would like to mention: I am not good for talks about
films.
I am not a filmhistorians at all.

A good day, Anja

PS: Kubelkas films I watched at the HBK, Braunschweig, Filmklasse, but now I
am in Berlin!
