Hi
I guess I'm bumping this discussion again. Last reply was in 2008... 5 years ago? Are there that few 16mm collectors these days? From 16mm sales on eBay I can tell there are still buyers, but maybe they don;t participate in eBay Discussions?
During the last 3 months I relocated my 16mm collection to a film vault storage space. I'm going to create a screening room nearby as well, though my cinema is mostly a road show... Highway Cinema.
My film vault has great shelves for my 16mm archive, and also decided to pit other film-related things on the shelves: film books, scripts, old production books from the feature films and other film productions I've worked on since 1981, movie posters(some framed and on the walls), lobby cards, VHS tapes(for you young people, those were the "8-track tape" of video prior to DVDs and video files...), a few laser discs(never did own a machine to play them on), many DVDs, film magazines, etc. I also set up one of my great old phonographs and have a shelf for soundtracks, on vinyl LPs & 45's, cassettes, 8-track, and this new thing they call a CD... 🙂
So... what's on your collection besides 16mm, or instead of?
Eventually I'll probably donate my archives to a film organization, sure would be better than having some relative or estate seller sell them off at yard sale prices...

Hi,
Not wealthy enough to be a true collector but have just a few films, 16mm and 8mm. I'm looking for good quality prints or negs of Machaty's "Ecstasy" (Ekstase) from 1933, with Hedy Lamarr (Kiesler, at the time). Any version or format is of interest as long as it adds either in quality or footage to what I already have. If you know of someone who has it but does not want to sell, I'd like to rent/borrow it from them!
Thanks
