FILM RESTORATION
Shooting on film creates a truly cinematic look, but issues like light leaks, X-ray damage, or torn perforations can occur. Film restoration is the key to preserving and saving your valuable footage.

SANTA'S CHAIR (2024)
This production’s beautiful look was initially affected by unexpected X-ray damage during shipment to the USA, resulting in intermittent pulsing throughout the film. Black Lab’s in-house restoration team fully eliminated the issue, restoring the film’s original cinematic quality without altering colour space or distorting the imagery.
