Godard's _A bout de Souffle_(1959) was shot on Ilford HPS 35mm still stock "for shooting in daylight with no extra artificial lighting...so for the film they stuck together the 17 and a half metre lengths of the stock to make reels...and then shot with the relatively light weight Cameflex as its sprocket holes corresponded most closely to those of a 35mm still camera. To process this they had to borrow a machine as no commercial laboratory could afford to develop at the speed they wanted..." Neat huh? I wonder where i could get a Cameflex?
