Please note that running times are approximate as they depend on the frame rate
Cleaning

In our experience, no serious cleaning is usually neccessary. However, to get the very best out of your 9.5 cine filn consider using our cleaning service - budget allowing.
On occasion, cine film comes in smelling of vinegar - Vinegar Syndrome, or may be badly affected with mould and mildew. If this happens, we will contact you to discuss the options.
