16 MM WITH OPTICAL STEREO SOUND TRACKS

 Many people, even in the film industry, believe that 16mm commercial positives have always been distributed with a single track in monophonic sound. It's a mistake. 

On the one hand, there were, and still exist today, 16 mm positives in two languages ​​("Oppenheimer" is an example, with optical sound in English and magnetic sound in Italian or Spanish). 

On the other hand, in 1984 the Italian distributor San Pablo Films began distribution in 16 mm with optical stereophonic sound, in Italian and Spanish, of titles such as "Gandhi" (Scope and Stereo), "Raiders of the Lost Ark" (Scope and Stereo) and "2001: A Space Odyssey" (stereo, but flat!). 

This century, Phil Sheard, from England, marketed several trailers in 16 mm with optical stereophonic sound.

More information coming soon.
