I found it very difficult to contact them as they don't have an office in the UK. I emailed head office in Belgium (?) and eventually, after a few weeks, someone from Pinewood studios, whose name I forget now -this was in about 2010- called and asked me a few questions; who was I, what was the film for etc. I answered all these and two days later a courier arrived with a can of ST8, all free of charge! Subsequently it was harder to get, and someone from my college was told initially that he could only order 105 cans. Perhaps the thing is to try to do a bulk buy and then sell it on, as someone else here suggested. They will consider selling smaller quantities: I guess they are used dealing with big labs but once they know who you are, ie a college department, they are quite amenable.

It's an orthochromatic sound recording stock. You can get it direct from Agfa in 2 x 2000' cans. They usually want you to buy some astronomical quantity, ie 105 cans, but they can be talked down, Nicky, Who is you contact at Agfa? I've pretty much avoided Agfa because of the high minimums; and this was a few years back when HFC, the US distributors, required a 10 (2000') roll minimum. If Afga will allow ordering & shipping two rolls at a time, this will be good news to Mr. Tuohy (Richard your 2000' mag will be waiting for you in BC in November), as well as other craft labers around North America... Cineworks Film Annex, etc. Not to mention those doing photograms...

So I guess it's gone! I'm interested in finding a 16mm stock for photograms that is similarly easy to expose and hand-process (meaning with a safe light and not-so-toxic chemistry). If anyone has any leads, please let me know!
