Weddings are very important and memorable events in our life. In the past, preserving those precious memories wasn’t as easy as it is now with modern technology. You might be thinking back to your own wedding and wishing you could show your children your wedding video to complement the beautiful photos you have.
As years go by and we age, our memories start to fade and the details become muddled. If your son or daughter is getting married soon, you might be feeling nostalgic and want to rewatch your own special day and show them how happy the event was.

The British Film Institute (BFI) is launching Forgotten Features this month; it consists of a selection of great British films that have, for a long time, been hard or near-impossible to see. The BFI curators went through the BFI National Archive and found rarities of the British film heritage and decided on three titles that deserved to be rescued from obscurity.
These films are British, unfairly neglected, and long unavailable. The BFI picked Bedelia by Lance Comfort (1946), Mr Topaze by Peter Sellers (1961), and The Assam Garden by Mary McMurray (1985).

Have you ever watched a newly released film and had a vague feeling that you’ve seen it before? Chances are you haven’t but you probably have seen a film which covers similar themes.
It’s very rare that you’ll find a film which tells a completely new and revolutionary story. Many movies re-tell the same stories; albeit in their own different ways.

When we refer to the “genre” of a film, we’re referring to the category or classification of the film that identifies it with other similar films. Films in the same genre will have related themes, plots, moods, characters, narratives, structures or settings.
Some of the most popular movie genres include action, comedy, romance, crime, horror and thrillers. There are even genres within genres, such as romance movies being split into period romances, teen romances etc.

Everyone has a favourite film, even if they are not your thing; there is one cinema experience that stands out in your mind. Seeing it elicits that same rush of enjoyment, a fondness grows at even the mention of the title and every time it comes on TV, no matter what else is on, it is watched to completion. More often than not a film that creates such a strong connection with its audience is considered to be a classic film.
We here at Cine2DVD Transfers have a lot of experience in transferring cine film to DVD and so we know the value of the moving picture. But, how do we discern a classic from just another run-of-the-mill film? There are a number of factors that together make for the perfect classic.

There are a great number of reasons why people keep hold of their old cine films. It could be a forgotten treasure that has been uncovered while tidying the attic, or it could be something that has been purposefully kept and cherished over the years, just as your vinyls may have been.
But as the years progress, the convenience, quality and chance of coming across a functioning projector shrinks. Therefore, it’s likely that you will want to convert your old cine film to DVD format and bridge the gap between generations, enabling you to share your old movies with younger family members.

We are often asked ‘how does it all work?’ and we thought that we’d give you all a little insight into exactly what happens between you sending us your film and us sending back the box fresh DVD copy of your film.

There’s no doubt that the age of the superhero is upon us. The superhero (and sometimes anti-hero) trend has gained some serious momentum over the last couple of years as Marvel has burst onto the scene with more men and women in capes and super strength suits than you can shake Thor’s hammer at.

Films and motion pictures are a massive part of our culture, to the point where the public are seeking out different ways to experience and intensify their movie experience with some of the most bizarre venues hosting screenings.
You would think that you couldn’t get much bigger and better from the IMAX experience, but apparently that isn’t enough for some people. There are some who would instead prefer to sit and get pruney fingers in a huddle of outdoor hot tubs whilst watching cult classics with an extortionately priced mojito. Yes, really.

Colour has taken over the way we watch films, whether they’re lovely homemade or produced by the stars of Hollywood. We can thank the advancements of technology for that and, though tech has allowed us to lovingly transfer your 8mm film to DVD, in film production, it’s taken away something essential to our viewing experience: emotion.
