WFG Film Scanning Services
We offer high resolution film scanning for 8mm, Super 8mm, 16mm, and Super 16mm.
We can scan films in colour, black and white, negative or positive, silent or with optical sound (for 16mm and Super 16mm).
Please note: This service is for already developed film. We cannot scan un-fixed hand painted/manipulated films.
Steps to Get Your Film Scanned:
1. Email scans@winnipegfilmgroup.com and we will send you an online intake form to fill out to get the process started.
2. Send Your Film and Drive After Staff Confirmation:
After getting pricing confirmation from WFG staff, ship or drop off your processed film along with an external drive for your digital file(s).
3. Pay for your Scans:
After we assess your films prior to scanning, we will send you an invoice for payment. If you don’t have a USB or External Drive, you can purchase one from us. Shipping fees, plus any additional fees, will be added to your invoice. The invoice must be paid before we begin scanning.
Alternatively we can send your digital files via Google Drive, depending on the size of the scans.
Members receive discounts on film scanning, workshops, and admission and concessions combos at our Dave Barber Cinematheque. Interested in becoming a Member? Join today!
