Long Live Celluloid. Cinelab talk to Definition Magazine.

The Feb/Mar issue of Definition Magazine surveys the UK and US film lab landscape at a moment when shot-on-film productions are once again dominating awards season with half of this year's Academy Award Best Picture nominees shot on celluloid.

Cinelab CEO Adrian Bull features in the piece, covering Cinelab's approach to pairing traditional photochemical craft with contemporary digital workflows. The article covers Cinelab's DFD (digital-film-digital) process, the challenge of building and sustaining experienced lab teams over time, and why film's continued relevance goes beyond aesthetics.

On the question of AI and provenance, Bull makes a point that's become increasingly pertinent: film is a permanent record of a performance in a way that digital capture simply isn't. It's an artifact with inherent authenticity.

The piece also features Kodak's Vanessa Bendetti on the broader ecosystem, and touches on the growing demand for 35mm prints and cinema exhibition.
