Thanks for sharing Mel that was pretty cool.

Yes, Thanks Mel interesting read, and video..

Storing my 8mm and 16mm films is a nightmare, most are in the Garage, which can get quite warm this time of year, and there's some lost films in there too.. Maybe it's time to send them off to the BFI..

Paul, what do you mean by "lost films?"

[paul waines]

They are on the lost/missing list Jeff, I put quite a few back into the archive 10 or so years back. The guy who runs the British side (Kaleidoscope) knows I have them.
Films maybe the wrong wording they are early British T.V. shows not films as such..  Don't worry I don't have The Hypnotist, wish I did...

Bummer.... no The Hypnotist
