Francois has also been collecting vintage amateur 16mm film for 35 years amassing a significant collection of diverse subjects. He operates an in-house 4K+ Filmfabriek scanning system. The result is a constantly growing collection of some of the most remarkable, obscure and hard to find shots from 1923-91 and over 80 countries. His studio employs a collection of well maintained orphan format VTRs: BetaSP/SX; DigiBeta; 3/4” U-matic; Hi8; DVCam; Super-Betamax and VHS ensuring an ability to capture vintage video well into the future. He now spends most of his time in the edit suite catching up with a lifetime of footage, restoring and preserving it for future generations to appreciate and enjoy.
