Six Plate Editing Table Arrives at the Institute


Thanks to the generosity of film makers Joe Gibbons and Louise Bourque The Institute has acquired a used Cinemonta six-plate editing table. This is an uncommon, Belgian model much like a Steenbeck. According to Joe Gibbons it saw a lot of use as a sort of optical printer for Louise Borques films.

Although we won't be using the magnetic sound heads we will certainly be using it to edit and compile 16mm material.
