Ferrania color negative stock

[Edgar Nyari]

Hi,

 

Does anyone know of any 50s and 60s features shot on Ferrania color negative stock? I've spoken to a person that suggested Fellini preferred to shoot on Ferrania stock (we are talking about color pictures) instead of Eastman, but I haven't been able to find any references whatsoever where this is confirmed. The stock seems to have been discontinued in 1966, so it could only be some of his earlier work, like Boccaccio '70.

 

If you know of any feature films by Fellini or other directors, Italian or otherwise, shot on Ferrania color negative film (printed in any process), can you throw a couple of titles here? And please, if you remember, specify the source of your information.

 

thank you

I would send them an e-mail, directly. They've been very friendly to deal with.

Yeah I just did that, let's see what they have to say.
