Notes<br />

[1] A famous example is ”<strong>Danmark</strong>”, 1935,<br />

directed by Poul Henningsen. The film was<br />

sponsored by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,<br />

and Poul Henningsen was allowed a free hand<br />

in the film production. See more: www.dfi.<br />

<strong>dk</strong>, <strong>Danmark</strong>s Nationalfilmografi, search for<br />

“<strong>Danmark</strong>” (The webpage for The Danish Film<br />

Institute will be changed in Spring 2009, and<br />

therefore exact addresses cannot be given).<br />

[2] Negatives and reversal films are both<br />

originals. Negatives give inverse images<br />

after development, where reversal films are<br />

developed to a positive image. Se more about<br />

reversal techniques at http://en.wikipedia.<br />

org/wiki/Kodachrome or in Matthews, G.E.<br />

& Tarkinton, R.G. (1955) Early History of<br />

Amateur Motion-Picture Film, Journal of<br />

SMPTE 64, p. 105-116.<br />
