Brian Pritchard Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 It is not all bad news. For those who were fans of Ilab they will be interested that the equipment has been bought and a new lab set-up in Park Royal, London. The lab is called Idailies and their web site is here: http://www.i-dailies.com/ Their phone number is +44 208 9939794. You can talk to Nigel Horn.

Marc Roessler Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Are you sure about Cineco Amsterdam? Their webpage doesn't say anything about this, and they still list negative and positive processing for both 16 and 35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Pritchard Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 This is a message posted on the AMIA-L list serv: I talked to Peter Limburg (CEO Cineco) last night on the phone. Both companies are bankrupt. Their employees are at home as of yesterday, the companies entrance door was sealed of today. It's very sad, but it's over..

zachary sala Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 It's very sad when a lab leaves, I would head over there and try to reclaim equipment they might be tossing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Jon Knight Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Brian, Spoke to i-dailies a few weeks ago and they were VERY helpful. This was their email back to me: "16mm, we charge .24p a foot, however we have a minimum charge of £75. No problem and that we can crop to 16;9 on Telecine. As for super 8. We charge £50 per cassette, with a minimum charge of £100. We only process on Thursday mornings." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Pritchard Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 I understand that Haghefilm are about to reopen. This was posted on Facebook. Good news for Dutch film industry today: Dutch film lab Cineco resumes as Haghefilm Digitaal Dutch film lab Cineco and daughter company Haghefilm Conservation, which were declared bankrupt on October 23, will get a relaunch and will resume their activities under the new name Haghefilm Digitaal BV. The restart prevents the disappearing of the knowledge of 35 mm film development and preservation from the Netherlands and makes sure film producers do not have to go abroad for the technical post-production of their films. The relaunch of Cineco BV and Haghefilm BV is made possible by Erik Vrolijk and Wibo de Groot, who have over 20 years of international experience in the field of film laboratories, dealing with analogue as well as digital film. The two entrepeneurs have taken the lead in saving the only film lab in the Netherlands in order to keep the knowledge of film preservation within the country and to safeguard the conservation of cultural heritage. Managing Director of Hagefilm Digitaal is Erik Vrolijk. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
