FOCAL Award results

A list of the Focal Intl awards winners is available here

The press release notes:-
"Another surprising result was the restoration of the Kinora
reels
from the early 1900s winning an award over the monumental
restoration of the David Lean collection of feature films by
the BFI and ITV Global Entertainment.
However, it highlighted the importance of all such vital and skilled
work that goes into saving film heritage, especially when it brings
backto life a dead technology as in the case of the Kinora reels which
required Blue Post Production to construct a special rig to convert
the individual images to a digital format".

I expect that the bfi will be extremely surprised, as the massive David
Lean restoration is of world importance.

Shame the PR doesn't mention the other nomination!! But at least we
brought back a nice certificate to Aberystwyth.
