Net die #Flotilla #docu van #DeMarker gekeken. Wat een kwalijke agitatie-propagandistische rotzooi. Ondanks dat ze tenminste begrepen dat ze deze Sovietfilm natuurlijk niet op TV konden uitzenden, moet #BNNVARA zich toch diep schamen. Bewijs NUL.

Cemetery on the Mount

Tested some expired Soviet film last weekend!

Black and white film photo of the historic Dix Hill Cemetery in Waynesville, North Carolina. This was captured on expired Svema 64 film produced in the Soviet Union. I did some bracketing to determine that +3 stops (8 ISO) was the minimum baseline for usable shots. I could probably shoot at 4 or even 2 ISO. I stand developed for 1hr in Rodinal 1+100 dilution. The base fog was intense and there was a lot of grime on the shots but I still managed to pull a few usable, albeit grungy looking shots from the roll.

Few Soviet filmmakers were able to leave an international impact on film quite like #Tarkovsky. There’s good reason for that.
