IDFA

These days I am working in the film/video controle of the festival IDFA in Amsterdam. There is about 400 film titles, mostly video (Beta SP, Digibeta, HDCAM), but also 35 and 16mm prints, and all these have to be checked and verified before they are played. I'm sitting here in front of a video monitor for the 5th day now, and my eyes are SQUARE.



The good and interesting thing is, that we are situated in the Tuschinski cinema in Amsterdam (the upper two pictures). It's a very impressive old building where you can easily get lost. Kinodvor cinema in Ljubljana looks a little bit like that, but then in a very simple basic version (the down picture).
