The CPB Foundation, via its Community Darkroom, proudly introduces the CPB ReSpool 800C, a cross-processed film engineered to deliver striking, intensely colourful, and uniquely textured images. Explore sample images below to witness the captivating effects of this specialized film.

Embrace the Bold and Unpredictable with Cross-Processing:

CPB ReSpool 800C is crafted from the renowned Kodak Vision3 500T motion picture film, meticulously respooled and designed to be shot at ISO 800 and processed in standard C-41 chemistry. This deliberate cross-processing technique results in dramatic colour shifts, amplified contrast, and a pronounced, artistic grain structure. Expect cool, often blue-toned shadows, vibrant, almost electric highlights, and a cinematic aesthetic that pushes the boundaries of conventional photography. The tungsten balance of the original 500T stock further enhances these colour shifts, leading to truly unique and often unexpected results. If you desire a film that offers a bold, experimental approach to your photography, the 800C is an excellent choice.

What is CineFilm, and Why Cross-Process?

CineFilm, derived from 35mm motion picture stock, provides a wide dynamic range and a distinct "film look." Cross-processing, the method of developing CineFilm in C-41 chemistry (standard colour print processing), deviating from the intended ECN-2 process, produces the dramatic colour shifts and increased contrast that define the 800C's character. The film contains remjet which must be removed during processing, since this is an atypical process we recommend processing with CPB Darkroom for best results.

What is Respool?

Respooling film is the act of purchasing film in bulk quantities by the 100's of feet and spooling them by hand into used metal cartridges. The film is loaded in a light-controlled environment using specialised equipment and produces results which are identical to commercially packaged films (unless mentioned as untested expired stocks).
