Hi Esperanza,

Some cooperatives offer prints for sale, such as Canyon.

We founded THE FILM GALLERY in Paris in 2005 to raise awareness of
film as an art form. We sold well at the Fiac art fair (Kubelka,
Iimura, Richter...), but art objects, not film prints. Museums and
collectors want limited, signed objects (such as DVDs!?). Some film
artists sell limited editions of their negatives, along with prints
and videos, and the museum or the collector must make new prints when
needed, only for their own use of course. But we have prints
available. What films are you interested in?

And thanks for the film of the day! We published Isou's film just
three months ago. It is the first release of the full restored
internegative from the French film archives.
