’s National Film Institute Filmlab is positioning itself to become Europe’s go-to facility for 35mm post-production, processing and restoration. Working alongside the NFI Archive — which is moving ahead with an ambitious program of classic film restoration — the Filmlab aims to be a “one-stop shop for digital, analog, VFX, digital restoration and color grading” according to its head, Tamás Bódizs.
“This idea is one I share with the former director. We know we can do analog processing, and want to be known for this throughout Europe,” he says. With a staff of around 40, including many experienced analog technicians — and plans to recruit and train a new, younger generation of specialists — the NFI Filmlab has the capacity to restore between 16-18 full-length features a year. They also have plans to transfer all new Hungarian digital films to analog for preservation purposes.
The lab’s expertise is already being put to good use by the NFI Archive, which is going ahead with a restoration program that has already resulted in an international film festival — the Budapest Classic Film Marathon, that launched last September. One of its newly restored films, György Fehér’s 1989 child serial killer thriller, “Twilight” , features in the Berlinale’s Classics program this year.
