Help save 16mm film printing in the UK!

Hi everyone. We have one last date at Swiss Cottage Library downstairs tomorrow from 12 til 5 and it would be great to see you if in London.
If you are listening to the radio tomorrow at 8.30 am there is an interview about Unravel with Chris on Manchester's http://www.allfm.org/.
Our date at the Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester starts at 11am in the Lecture Theatre - we have been promised popcorn for the screeninbg at 4pm so see you there!

Finally, if you have attended one of our workshops you might be able to find the time to help protest about the immediate stop in 16mm film printing at Soho Film Lab one of the last places in the UK to commercially offer colour prints. Although there are services offered by http://www.no-w-here.org.uk/ for black and white prints and a similar service offered by the wonderful Tony Scott at http://www.film-photo.co.uk/ the closure of Soho Film Lab's 16mm film printing services effective immediately has rightfully created quite a stir. If you were enthused by an Unravel event to ever work with 16mm film or see the value of viewing film in this format then please sign the petition by following the link below...
