"ORWO, is an excellent yet inexpensive 16mm film stock made in Eastern Germany and used by many experimental filmmakers in the past. I scratch off the image surface with a needle then sweep away the emulsion dust beneath the microscope... I used a low powered USB microscope purchased from a LIDL supermarket in West London to capture the image to computer. The deliberately scratched film originates from a 16mm roll used to make image masks for my film 'St.Paul's Cathedral Movie', processed at the London Film-makers' Co-op in 1972." Stuart Pound
