SFI Laboratory Rotebro

The main reason for setting up our own photochemical laboratory was to be able to continue with analogue duplication of films in our own collections, especially films still only existing on nitrate stock. But we also offer services to external clients, who want to have duplication, restoration, grading and processing of analogue films carried out.

Our services

• Optical printing
• Duplication and grading of 16mm and 35mm – b/w and colour
• Blow-ups from 16mm to 35mm
• Processing of 16mm and 35mm – colour positives and b/w negatives and positives
