The Big Picture
Europe may be seeing the first signs of a genuine revival in photographic film manufacturing. Optik Oldschool has acquired InovisCoat and Filmotec, bringing emulsion development, coating technology, and manufacturing together under one roof, and under the control of active analog photographers.

This is really interesting. FilmoTec and InovisCoat have new owners, Optik Oldschool. I've been avoiding ORWO films ever since they fucked over the people who backed their new color films with crowdfunding by selling them in stores before shipping to the people who made it possible. I may reconsider

-Se encontraron 20 minutos perdidos de la pelicula de Metropolis en una filmotec en Argntina. Alemania en retribución dono dinero
-Argentina tiene la primer película animada de la historia del cine.

Qué /lore/ les impactó más de las cosas que estudiaron o que tienen como hobby? Yo recuerdo el 👁Barthes tuvo algo con Foucault y no terminó muy bien👁 y todavía no me recupero de Simone De Beauvoir diciéndole por carta al amante que le plancharía las camisas (culpa de Danila)

They can’t possibly be worse than the now former owners.
I’m curious what happens with Film Ferrania. I think they were bought by InovisCoat/FilmoTec. Are they now part of Optik Oldschool?

UN54 is technically a movie film, so I'd guess D-96
The processing sheet straight from Filmotec says ORWO 17 or D-96. ORWO 17 seems to be a slightly different East German version of D-96, I found a thread where someone lists the differences in formulation.

Also the new Agfa color is Orwo for sure.
If it's color it's either made in the US (Kodak), UK (Harman), Germany (ORWO FIlmotec), China (Lucky), or Japan (Fuji).
There aren't any other active color film manufacturers.
Well, apart from Polaroid in the Netherlands, but they only do instant film.

Wolfen DN21 (ISO 13) rolled by FilmOTec. I'm trying out the various ORWO films just for giggles

What follows is based only on deduction, so I'll leave anyone that has proper experience take better guesses.
Kiki Pan 320 is made in Germany
Not many films are made in Germany (even Agfa/Rollei are made by Harman in the UK), so probably Filmotec/ORWO
I'd look at times for ORWO films/510-pyro

No insider information, but there's some Orwo/Filmotec scuttlebutt making the rounds that may explain why they're not naming a source on this one. It's probably some kind of NC200 variant based on the samples though.

A mí me encanta Reichardt, así que estoy intentando revisar todo lo posible. Creo que Umberto era tanto filmotec Jr como carta blanca de Reichardt, así que seguro que hay conexión con Wendy y L. De hecho, no recordaba que la parte final de Umberto girara tanto en torno al perro. Y hoy sesión doble ☺️
