Preserving/cleaning print of Citizen Kane

[Joseph Winchester]

I have a 16mm print of Citizen Kane that I would like to get professionally cleaned up. I would love to get a duplicate print made as well. Does anyone have any recommendations for good labs that specialize in this type of preservation? I've found some places through the usual searches, but I would love some first-hand experiences you have had. This is a treasure to me and need someone to care for it. Thanks in advance!

Check out these web sites of film collectors:

Film Center then go to the forum at the top of the page.

 

or ask forum member Robert Houllahan. He works at a lab.

You have a 16mm print of Citizen Kane? Nice! However, I am not sure if a lab would be able to make a duplicate copy because of copyright reasons. Of course you could always check just in case.

Ditto on the copyright issue.

Also since revesal print stock has been discontinued a dupe neg would have to be made and a print struck from that.

Yeah I don't think i'll get a dupe made anyways. I'll definitely be getting the print cleaned though.
