Some of Kevin's films are finished on 16mm, but not all, and possibly not any of the features. Thom Andersen did indeed finish Get Out of the Car on 16mm. Madison Brookshire's Color Series is a quite unique 16mm feature-length work. Did anyone yet mention Els Van Riel's Gradual Speed or Matthew

Kevin Everson doesn’t finish to film, at least as far as I know. I saw a Q&A with him after a screening of Erie (at Images, I think), and he said the reason he doesn’t finish to film is that he “has so many films that [he] wants to make.” I assumed he was talking about both the time and money

Hi John, "Feature" is a somewhat broad term, and speaks more to run time than form/content, but given your examples, I would assume you are asking about experimental features?? The exact run time of a "feature" also seems to be dictated by market/venue. Some say 40 minutes, some 60, and the indus

Amanda, why did you choose a 2k scan, instead of a 4k? Strictly a cost savings? Seems that TVs will be 4K before we know it. Even if you were lucky to afford a DI and get a 35mm print, I've heard from several lab guys that 2K DIs were always a little soft compared to a traditional contact print.

There have maybe been more than one thinks, particularly if we include independent narrative films in addition to avant grade work. I believe Lukas Moodysson's CONTAINER was exhibited on 16mm. I suppose Kelly Reichardt's MEEK'S CUTOFF was released digitally even though it was shot on standard 16
