Kodak print film 3383

[Berri]

Do you think it could be possible to use this film in 35mm still camera for pictorial purpose? I understand it is low ISO and possibly tungsten type.
Could it be reversal processed? If so, which is the best option to produce slides?
Thanks!

You could use it to make slides from your negative but to make negative from it is way too contrasty and color ballance is hard to get.

Per the data sheet there is no remjet or orange mask. I regularly cross process unmasked C-41 films in E-6 and the results are very nice. In my experience it should be overexposed (try 2 stops) and overdeveloped (push one stop). Those numbers work well for "normal" C-41, I am not familiar with this movie stuff.

The main problem with cross processing C-41 is the orange mask. Without that C-41 works very well in E-6 chemistry.

Let us know how it works.

Resuscitating this old thread as I discovered there's a workshop next weekend discussing it; sadly full. Caveat: they are doing 16mm, but should be same for 35:

For posterity in case the link is deleted. "Kodak 3383 is a color release print stock; meaning that it’s main use is in making color positive prints for projection purposes. This typically involves using a contact printing to expose a camera original negative unto the print stock, followed by ECP (Eastman Color Positive) processing. However, in this workshop, we will be using 3383 in a drastically different way by using an alternative process to produce a color reversal positive straight from the camera.

While such a way of working with 3383 (which has an ISO rating of 2) is not necessarily a direct replacement for other color reversal materials, the stock can come very close to full color reproduction and is also the cheapest film currently in manufacturer at approximately 3 cents to the foot. Therefore, it can provide filmmakers with an interesting and extremely cost effective way of producing intriguing color compositions."

Shoot a movie with an ISO 2 film... I must be missing something because it sounds like hell on earth for any cinematographer.

By the way, in the recent 2020 Spanish movie awards the best cinematography went to a movie shot in super 16 mm film. Pretty outstanding work.

Yeah, you might be nuts to shoot a whole feature at ISO 2. But let's see, sunny 16 rule says it's need to be 1/2 sec shutter speed at f/16. So with a 180 degree shutter and 24fps, I need to shoot at 1/48 sec, so open up 4 1/2 stops = f/3.3. Actually, that's not that big of a stretch. If you want pretty shallow depth of field in the sun, you can just switch from 50D (which you'd shoot at f/16), and leave your ND filters at home.
