After its tournée in several regions of the former Soviet Union, where it could not be released dubbed in Russian with the sole exception of Kazakhstan, and after a brief stop in Italy and Cuba, I will be guarding for almost month the rarest film print in the world of "Oppenheimer", Christopher Nolan's magnum opus, winner of 13 Oscars prizes this 2024, including best film, best director and best cinematography.
This film print is unique in the universe: the only one in 16 mm, struck with Fujifilm motion picture film stock, from the last batch produced by the Japanese company in 2012, in polyester.

| The film that challenged the Russian authorities |
The Kazakhfilm laboratory (opened in 1984) preserves, in its warehouse dug into the permafrost, a good batch of this wonderful Fujifilm film stock for prints, photographically almost as good as Kodak's 3383, but with a better performance: its polyester base is half as thin as the mylar used by Kodak, so, the full picture can be loaded in a 2200 meters big reel.
The optical sound, in English, is stereophonic. The Russian dubbing is on one of the magnetic tracks, and I've just finished synchronizing the Spanish Castilian audio on another of the magnetical tracks (main half track), formerly with the Latin American Spanish (made in Mexico) they used in Cuba.

"Oppenheimer" could not be shown in Russia or Belarus because of the war in Ukraine, except in this 16 mm film anamorphic print that was clandestinely shown to sufficiently brave cinephiles.
Wonderful messes, of real cinema, in which I find myself involved. Quite an adventure how the film has managed to land in Galicia: but this is a story for another day.
