Every six months, in January and July, the Interbay Cinema Society gives grants to 10 filmmakers working with 16mm or 35mm film to have 2 and 4K high resolution scans of their work made through Lightpress, a transfer house in Seattle.

We give grants to established and emerging filmmakers. Students are not eligible.

Grants are given for 3 hours of scanning. Note that the scans are not “in real time,” so how much material can be scanned depends on a lot of variables. This is a $1200 value.
