I've always wondered why shorter films (where the price difference
isn't great) aren't preserved in 35mm rather than their native 16mm
-- yes, it costs more, but there will be less generation loss -- and
16mm prints can always be made (by making a 16mm printing negative).
35mm prints have better sound, and permit a film to be shown at more
venues than 16mm prints.
I know, it's heresy... but 16mm projection is mediocre in all but a
few special places these days.
