Intercine

A brand name for a ‘flatbed viewer’ for 16mm and 35mm film. Equipped with a small front projection screen and sound playback.

Both NFSA models are fairly gentle with film up to about two per cent shrinkage. Above that and there is a risk of damaging the film. It is archival policy that if viewing a preservation copy on the intercine, it passes through once without stopping and be rewound on a bench.

The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia acknowledges Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live and gives respect to their Elders both past and present.
