	Small format magazine ends its run 2 (from the editor in chief) smallformat Newsletter - last issue December 2008 Dear film enthusiast! The last issue of smallformat magazine is out. Smallformat ends its run. I am not usually at a loss for words. Put me near the computer, and I always know how to start. That usually makes my work easy. Today is different. Today, I do not know what I should write at this point. The last issue of smallformat lies before you. In 2005, I came up with the idea of starting an international magazine for Super 8 and 16mm, along with other small gauge film formats. Since 2004, I had been producing a German version - the now 60-year-old schmalfilm - for Berlin publisher Fachverlag Schiele & Schön. Motivated by the immediate success of the content and layout in the German version following its re-launch, I imagined that it would also work internationally. There had to be a sufficient number of enthusiasts worldwide who were still interested in small format film. With discriminating subjects and a refined look, we set about catching people who were enthusiastic about chemical film to become eager readers. Many were appropriately inspired, but - unfortunately - not enough. Not enough for this project to survive economically. Fachverlag Schiele & Schön did not even expect to earn money from us. But they didn't plan to lose money, either. After three years of red ink, the only task that remains is for me to pass along my thanks. To publishers Karl-Michael Mehnert and Harald Rauh, who shared my belief that smallformat had a chance and filled a niche. To Anne-Kristin Rudorf and Eva Hernandez for their inspired layout ideas. To Linda Paesold and Jessyca Gross for taking good care of our advertisers. To Ingrid Bade for the laborious hours spent creating an international subscription database to handle the various payment options. To our knowledgeable contributors. To translator and contributing editor James Grahame for the cautiously translated texts and his own articles. To our advertisers. And to you, dear readers, for your loyalty. Let's not beat around the bush - this is a permanent farewell. I am heavy hearted. Jürgen Lossau, Editor of smallformat [19 December 2008].

Some headlines in German: cover Annett Louisan Hamburger Popsängerin mit einer Beualieu 4008 -- abgelichtet von Starfotograf Jim Rakete klappe Wo Bleiben Die Geschichten? fragt Jürgen Lossau mit Blick auf die Tendenz, nur noch "Testfilme" zu drehen * filmwelt NOMOS 2008 in Hamburg Wolfgang A.

	Dear filmmakers. Send your films [registered is recommended] to this address: Super8 Reversal Lab NL Frank Bruinsma Hoge Zand 30a 2512 EM The Hague The Netherlands All other addresses are no longer valid. [16 December 2008].
	New Years time: Moving the Lab to Den Haag After many evenings and weekends of work I can finally see the end is comming, or in other words 'the new Lab is almost finished' (click image). In the second week of December I will move my large super8 and 16mm printing machines and editing tables to Den Haag. In the weeks around Christmass and New Year I will move all small stuff. The Lab will re-open on 6th of January 2009. Please be aware that: From 9-11 December I will not process as many films as usual. From 20th December 2008 to 5th January 2009 the Lab will be closed. Thank you for all positive comments and please come and visit the new clean space in Den Haag! [18 November 2008].
	Save Small format (from onsuper8.org) In discussions with editor Juergen Lossau we've learn't that since the announcement of the magazine's demise, a number of people have expressed interest in taking out a subscription. onsuper8.org would strongly urge anyone with a serious interest in Super 8mm and small gauge film to drop Juergen a line at lossau@smallformat.de stating that they'd take out a subscription should smallformat continue. If enough people do this there's a chance that we might just keep the English version, of what is an essential publication, going. And remember, to quote eighties hair rockers Cinderella, [you] "Don't Know What You Got (Till It's Gone)". [18 November 2008].
	nlconfidential Reinier Bruins/whateverman made a very special clip for NLconfidential, this is an event by Playboy. All used Kodak 7266 black/white super8 films have been processed by the super8 lab. Films have been scanned by Cineco. I think it looks fantastic (pay attention by the way he used a different format). [12 November 2008].
	International Photographica-fair On November 9th, one of the biggest, if not THE largest (about 300 tables!) European fair of photographica (collector's cameras, cinema, pre-cinema, photographs, books about photography etc.) is being held for the 63rd time in the Euretco-building in Houten near Utrecht in the Netherlands. It is easily to reach by A27 (Antwerp-Amsterdam) then A12 exit Houten from where the route is signposted with 'expocenter euretco'. Open from 9 AM to members (€ 1,50) and from 11 AM to non-members (€ 4,00). Check the organiser on the web. [06 November 2008].
	Small format magazine ends its run (from the editor in chief) Berlin-based Fachverlag Schiele & Schön has decided to cease printing our magazine at the end of 2008, after three years of publication. small format -- the international journal for fans of Super 8, Single-8 and 16mm film -- was founded by editor-in-chief Jürgen Lossau in 2005. Unfortunately, the number of subscribers and advertisers in this difficult and shrinking market did not reach our expectations. Therefore, economic survival is not possible. The lack of financial support from the only remaining film manufacturer was also a deciding factor behind the publisher's decision. (The Lab is very sorry that the magazine is disappearing after only 3 years, it was truly a good made and enthusiastic work). [05 November 2008].
	Video to film If you want to transfer your video to film you can visit the Back and White Film Factory in Ontario Canada. They offer a service for transferring video to small format film which by our knowledge only could be done at Retro8 in Japan (although the website is difficult to understand, so please send them a mail). [16 October 2008].
	Full-High-Definition smalfilm scanners on de IBC 2008 Every year in September you can visit the International Broadcast Convention in the RAI in Amsterdam. The IBC is the major event where you can speak with all large vendors in our film and TV world. I have looked for companies that offer equipment for full high definition small format film scanning. The company from Berlin MWA-Nova who also makes the FlashScan8 did show one system in full HD, more technical details can be read in this PDF file . The Paris company CTM-Debrie showed two working systems in full HD (1920x1080). The Memory and HD Box machines will be offered complete which software and training. You can read more about it on their website. As far as I know there is no company in the Netherlands that works with one of these three systems, so if you have any news please tell the lab. PS. The only full HD service scanning for super8 in the Netherlands is being offered by HomeDVD. They work with a system they build themselves and I can advise you to read their website because it is full with interesting info about the digital pro's and con's. The other option that I know of for HD scanning can be done at AVP in Munich Germany who uses Rank-Cintel machines. [16 October 2008].
	Home Movie Day There is a Home Movie day on 18 October 2008 in the Filmmuseum Amsterdam. Click here for the global event. [12 October 2008].

Remember that you can use this film in ALL super8 camera's. So we can enjoy Kodachrome again for a while, although the price is not the same as it used to be. [28 July 2008].
	Construction-3 The construction of the new lab is taking more time than I first thought it would. It's harder than I imagined, running a full time lab, and working in my free time on the construction of the new space. So the progress is going slowly. On the to-do-list for example: installing 11 Tube Lights, continue with painting, and the floor suddenly asked for more attention than I expected. Besides the nice finishing of the doka walls I also have warm and cold running water inside, which was a intense job to finish. To make a step forward I decided to spend more time in the new lab and don't process films in the week from 4 until 8 August. The Lab will send orders and answer all e-mails. Thank you for understanding. [28 July 2008].
	Pro8mm widescreen modification (source pro8mm website) The USA company Pro8mm has a new service, they can modify your Canon 1014xl-s super8 camera for the widescreen format! Read their website news: 'Announcing the Canon 1014-XLS MAX 8 Camera Modification: Give your Canon 1014-XLS a giant leap forward by having us convert it to MAX 8, a 16 x 9 widescreen format. This is the second super 8 camera we have introduced with a widened gate (Classic Professional MAX 8 in 2005) so that filmmakers can be HD ready. Widescreen images are essential for remaining competitive in a HD world, and shooting super8 in the modern 16 x 9 aspect ratio allows you to edit your super 8 images with other widescreen formats. The exposed film is then transferred on our custom modified widescreen gate, available on our M2 Scanner or Y Front Ursa Diamond Scanner, giving you 20% more image on the super8 frame. The Max 8 1014-XLS conversion includes gate modification, the adding of 16 x 9 framing lines to the viewfinder, removing the internal 85 filter which causes image degradation, increasing the take up torque so that the modern, thicker film stocks are less likely to jam, as well as re-calibration of the exposure system so that all Pro8mm film stocks will accurately read the exposure from 50-500 ASA. This complete modernization package is available for $995.00. We currently have some MAX8 1014 XLS' in rental only for $300 a day, or $250 with any all inclusive film package.' Maybe this is a very nice option and the Super8 Reversal Lab is considering to get one 1014xl-s modified by Pro8mm... [22 July 2008].
	Fuji single8 films Just arrived: fresh single8 films. You can choose from these emulsions; Astia 100F, Retro-X, R25N and of course the RT200N. More information about Fuji single8 films can be read *here*. [15 July 2008].
	Construction-2 All major construction work goes pretty easy so far. After 3 weekends the rough building work of the lab is almost done. [17 June 2008].
	Steenbeck super8 editing table Thanks to film maker Tobias Schmuecking the lab could get their hands on a nice Steenbeck super8 editing table. This machine needs a good maintenance job (in the new lab) but it's definitely worth the effort. The lab owns 2 other super8 editing tables but because of a weak light source and unstable images the lab doesn't use them. [16 June 2008].
	Construction started Last week I have started to build the new Super8 Lab in my hometown Den Haag. The space is about 70m2 and situated on the first floor. The building houses artists only. I will build the lab in my free time with the help of friends. All normal activities will continue. The idea is that I will move the lab in August/September (details follow). If there is a delay in work I will inform every costumer about this in person. Check out the page for some fresh pictures. [27 May 2008].
	Cine 8-16 Order this magazine directly from the publisher. 8mm * 9,5mm * 16mm It doesn't matter if you screen films at home or make your own films..... Homecinema is simply the best if you use real perforated cine film! In service of this wonderfull, cultural and valuable hobby we set up our non-profit organisations; Arbeitsgemeinschaft Amateurfilm und Kino, die Arbeits- & Interessengemeinschaft Celluloidfilm and Cine 8-16, to create a magazine at production cost, for all friends of perforated films. Remember that you must be able to read German language. [12 April 2008].
	Flimmernacht Time to announce a super8 filmfestival, this one is called Flimmernacht. It is held in Germany. These are the ingredients; you take 1 super8 cartridge, 1 super8 camera and make 1 film that has been edited inside the camera. You send it back to the festival and they get it processed (I know I have seen this somewhere else?). Once that has been done they ask a musician or soud designer to finish the super8 into something fantastic! At the end you will be at your own film premiere without knowing if it would be worth it! Like to join? Click the image to visit the (German) website! Please do! [12 April 2008].
	Filmfair in Waghausel Germany Finally there will be a new filmfair in Waghausel Germany this weekend. It's maybe the lagest filmfair for amateur filmmakers and collectors in Europe. On 5th April 2008 from 10 to 16.00 hours you can find a buy second hand camera's, projectors, splicers, lightbulbs, leaderfilms, found-footage and of course a lot of chatting with collegue collectors and filmlovers. If it was really worth driving more than 1000 Km for from Rotterdam I know when I get back, because I'll be there as well :-) Here you can find the German website of the organiser for a little more info and a map where to find it.

More information: filmwerkplaats@wormweb.nl Portraits: the Starting from Scratch collective film Point of departure is a series of directors’ portraits shot at the festival (on 16mm) that will be developed, processed and edited in the laboratory of the WORM.filmwerkplaats. A project that will enable each of the filmmakers to communicate his own technique / signature in a practical and active way to the other filmmakers using different film stocks and relevant applications. The results will be presented in suitable surroundings during the festival. The project will be realised in collaboration with artist / cameraman Ben Rivers and artist / WORM.filmwerkplaats regular Pim Zwier. Starting from Scratch / WORM.filmwerkplaats residency For many film makers (especially outside Europe) a lack of facilities means they cannot make the films they really have in mind. The Starting from Scratch artist-in-residence programme wants to support film makers to realise and present the projects they dream of filming. Three film makers have been invited (Anuradha Chandra, Masha Godovannaya and Amanda Dawn Christie) in order to spend a month in Rotterdam making use of the unique facilities and with the expert assistance of the WORM.filmwerkplaats. The results will be presented during the festival.

	Things to do in 2008 First I would like to say a special thanks to all my costumers in the past year(s). 2008 will bring new fresh energy. If all goes well the lab will be moving from Rotterdam back to Den Haag somewhere around April/May 2008. This is also the city where I personally live. I can get a beautiful new lab space in the center of Den Haag. My neighbours will be a two friends who also work with film and video [more later] and we plan to join our forces. Keep yourself updated by visiting this page. Finally 2008 will be the year that GK-Film and partners will introduce the new Cinevia cartridge. An exiting moment in time for me. [27 December 2007].
	Cinevia update The cartridge is being tested at this moment. The actual production on a large scale can start as soon as these tests have been finished. We will keep you informed via this news page. You can also register yourself at the central website for Cinevia films. [16 December 2007].
	KinoLab Columbia KinoLab is a laboratory of filmmakers, created in Bogotá - Colombia, February 2007, by Enrico Mandirola (Italian) and Jaime Gutierrez (Colombia). This laboratory is an open space to all artists who wish to learn: techniques of development for Super8 and 16mm, how to use cameras and projector, experiment and work with the format. In parallel the laboratory organizes workshop of "cinema with Super-8" and collaborates with the students of the local’s university. We also offer the service of “handmade” development and optical Telecinema, for all those which do not want to put the "hands in the baths".

	update price list film On the '*price list film*' page I updated several filmstocks and tried to make it more logical. Now you should be able to read clearly that you can buy; super8, single8, 16mm, doublesuper8 and even 35mm films with or without processing costs. Let me know if you think I did not succeed :-). [11 November 2007].
	9th Dresdner Schmalfilmtage From Tuesday 24th until Sunday 26th January 2008 there will be the 9th edition of the Dresdner Schmaltage in Germany. Deadline for entries is 6th January 2008. Check out http://www.schmalfilmtage.de for more info. [22 October 2007].

	Cinevia super8 cartridge In film theater Babylon Berlin was a small filmfair before the 'Tick8' competition announced who all the lucky winners were. GK-Film's Gottfried Klose together with film partners Dr. Florian Kaps [L] and Frank Bruinsma [R] showed a prototype of the new super8 cartridge. On the outside there is not so much to see because it still has to fit in super8 camera's :-) But on the inside several changes have been made to optimise the film run as much as possible. Of course one of the most asked questions was when this cartridge will finally come on the market. The answer from GK-Film is that they we are still in the testing period. We have to finish all these tests first to be sure that this cartridge can fit all the high demands! Maybe this years Christmas will be a very extraordinary one. [22 October 2007].
	New PDF pricelists for download The Dutch pricelist 215Kb The English pricelist 215Kb Please notice that there is one real change for processing super8 films: films delivered before Wednesday 18.00 PM hours are ready to be dispatched or collected the following Monday 10.00 AM [this in no guaranty].

	Film screenings On the 'various' page I updated several film screenings in Europe and a Nomos film competition that you can join. [11 June 2007].
	processing Kodachrome Still many costumers ask the lab where and how to get Kodachrome films processed. This complicated and very poluting process is only done by Dwayne's Photo in the USA. They are the only one that offer the K14 process in the whole world. If you have a K25/K40 type super8, DS8, 16mm or 35mm Kodachrome film you can fill in this PDF form and send it together with your film to: Dwayne's Photo PO Box 274 415 S 32nd St. Parsons KS 67357 USA Or read the more info via: http://www.dwaynesphoto.com.

	News from Japan During the German Filmbörse in Waghäusel -held on 21 April- I had a nice talk with mister Tak Kohyama from Retro Enterprises in Tokyo. He told me that a new Fuji single8 film will be released soon. This will be a Fuji Astia 100F Daylight balanced single8 film. Togehter with the 'old' news that Fuji has decided that they will continue to produce single8 R25N and R200N for another 2 year made my day. Astia 100F promises to be a good emulsion that will close the gap between 25 and 200ASA filmstocks on single8. Second news from Retro8 is that they have a new service. They offer to put your video-tape onto single8 film! Details? Ask Retro-8! [03 May 2007].
	Third Filmmuseum Biennale Please if you are in the Netherlands visit the Filmmuseum Biennale which takes place in Amsterdam from 11 to 15 April 2007.

	Compare E6 with C41 On the -> research -> research chemie page is a new update. A test with processing 7280 Ektachrome in normal E6 and negative C41 chemistry. *Have a look*. [22 July 2006].
	WittnerChrome 100D From today is WittnerChrome 100D available via this lab. This is a film that is made from NEW Kodak 7285 Ektachrome film. ISO 100/21DIN Daylight film without filter. Price: Excluding processing € 19.00 [each, excl V.A.T.] Including processing € 30.00 [each, excl V.A.T.] Remember that you can not use this film in all regular automatic super8 camera's because the sensitivity will not be recognized so be careful. This is a very nice neutral color and sharp super8 film. WittnerChrome 100D is a competitor for Cinevia 50D. [4 July 2006].
	Jazz is my Religion This documentary from Gerard Wessel offers a very up close and personal meeting with writer, speed user, up-tempo poet and jazz disc jockey Jules Deelder. In Rotterdam Deelder is best known as the 'Nightmajor of Rotterdam'. Many shots were made on black and white super8 and 16mm reversal film that was processed by this laboratory. The DVD is for sale.
