From Lens to Lab: Cinelab’s DFD Process Powers the Look of Night Always Comes

Night Always Comes, the latest feature from director Benjamin Caron (Sharper, Andor), is now showing in select cinemas and streaming worldwide on Netflix. Based on the novel by Willy Vlautin and lensed by celebrated cinematographer Damián García, the film tells a gripping, emotionally charged story set against a haunting urban backdrop.

To enhance the visual texture and emotional weight of the film, our team at Cinelab Film & Digital carried out a DFD (Digital–Film–Digital) analogue intermediate process. This unique workflow involves transferring digitally captured footage onto Kodak film stock, before processing and scanning it back to digital. The result is a rich, organic film look that brings added depth and mood to the story on screen.
