Graham Ellard Posted October 4, 2024 Posted October 4, 2024 Hi, we work in 16mm film. The negative cutter we have worked with for many years in the UK has retired, and we are trying to find someone who still does this. We know of Matthew Wagenknecht in Michigan and Andy Pratt, but does anyone know of a neg cutting service in Europe? We'd welcome any leads - thanks.

Gautam Valluri Posted October 4, 2024 Posted October 4, 2024 The NFI Film Lab in Hungary offer negative cutting services: https://nfi.hu/en/nfi-filmlab/services/analogue-post-production/negative-processing-and-cutting.html
Mark Dunn Posted October 4, 2024 Posted October 4, 2024 Carriage to the EU and back is now a problem for UK residents, so watch out for that. There are stories of ordinary items spending weeks in UK customs.
Graham Ellard Posted October 4, 2024 Author Posted October 4, 2024 Thanks, we're familiar with Dirk - we'll try him again.
Graham Ellard Posted October 4, 2024 Author Posted October 4, 2024 Thanks Gautam, that's a new one to us, we'll get in touch.

And I just remembered we have a list on the filmlabs website: https://www.filmlabs.org/technical-section/editing/negcut/ It's probably not up to date but worth a look.
Graham Ellard Posted October 4, 2024 Author Posted October 4, 2024 That's a great help, thanks Gautam!

No- Steve Farman is the one whom OP found out had retired.
