Artist-Run Film Labs

http://www.filmlabs.org

Artist-run film labs implement an original way of using production tools, through their collective organizations, for filmmakers and artists currently working with celluloid film.

They act as an experimental ground for cinema (beyond any genre) at a time when the industry is gradually getting rid of film and, with that, the means to process and print.

This website gives an overview of the organizations that have emerged in Europe, America and Asia.  It serves as a portal for sharing information about labs and is also a place for debating aesthetic, political and technical questions raised by this on-going endeavor.

Ready to Roll

rollersWe have refurbished the Debrie/Lawley processor. We removed and cleaned the 200 plus rollers, oiled the turning rods and dredged the silver out of the bottom of the developing tank. Also removing all the unwanted objects found there. The tanks are now filled with fresh chemistry; having run a number of scratch tests with good final results, we are now ready for your films.
We are really looking forward to seeing all your brilliant work hot off the press.

Many thanks to David Leister for his support and expertise.
