Film Scanning & Restoration

We offer film restoration services to convert dusty 35mm films to pristine 4K Dolby Vision® HDR, giving them new leases in life in today's streaming world. Our Cintel Scanner 2 (capstan) makes excellent scans off film prints & negatives, and optical audio extractions directly from the film. To ensure optimal scans, each film first goes through a Kodak-based film cleaning rig.

Resultant scans may undergo extensive colour grading to restore balance & clarity, and digital cleanup to remove excess dust & debris. With 4K & 2-pass HDR scans, we catch every detail, even on 20 year old films.
