“Thank you so much, I am delighted with DVD you made of the 3 films I sent you. I had no idea what was on them but having watched the DVD when I received it today I think one of the films must have been over 50 years old and the others 35+. I am amazed by the results and am so glad I sent them to you. They bring back lots of memories.”

“Just received the DVD etc and are absolutely over the moon with the results. Both my wife and I are delighted and have gone back to the future and thank you very much for so much for the resurrection of wonderful and forgotten memories for us both.”

"A big thank you for a great job on my films. They arrived this morning and I must say that I am delighted with them! I always believe in the old saying.....You get what you pay for....and I got 1st class service. Have watched it twice and I know that my wife will be pleased with it in July. Superb job, Thank you!!!!"

"Hi Simon I have just received my film and DVD back this morning. Thank you very much for doing this so quickly for me. As a customer I would to mention that I have found you courteous, information and processed the DVD very quickly indeed. In short an impressive service. I wish you a happy Christmas and all the success you deserve."

"Hi Simon I can't stop crying...Two of my grandparents who are now dead were there holding me, kissing me... It's all so 70's... My dad with hairy sideburns and no grey hairs... My mum so beautiful and young...Yes, it was really shocking but I loved it. You Are a Superstar."

"Many thanks for transferring my 8mm films to my hard drive for me. It’s a very painless service your offering and one I will be happy to recommend. I have just watched the films and you have done a great job. I hope the subject matter was not too distasteful, I had forgotten that my friends and I had made such blood thirsty films back in our youth. Many thanks for your help."

"I cannot thank you enough for the DVD’s, which arrived well packed and in quick time, with friendly personal courtesy call. Preserved forever my childhood memories brought back to life in such great quality. Will be in touch as soon as I get the other 50+ reels of film!"

Hi Simon
I would like to say again to you a big thank you for sorting my 8mm Cine film out and transferring it to Digital.
I have spoken to my Mother and she is looking forward and my Sister to seeing these films as they are also of them in there younger days of the 1960s and 1970s.
I have watched all of them and I’m so glad I’ve got them transferred to Digital.
I will be keeping my eye out for anyone I know who has some 8mm Cine films and want them to be transferred
to DVD or for Computer use and pass your details on, because if I was to rate you out of 10 and 10 being Fantastic
I would give you 100%.
Thank you again…….

Hi The Cine Film Factory, My Dad & Mum were overjoyed with the Cine DVDs & said they were the best present they had ever had. At 70, both Mum & Dad really appreciate looking back at their earlier years & they just wanted to pass on their thanks to you for the expedited service & quality of transfer. Thanks Again!!!!

Hi Simon,

Just wanted to let you know that my dad , my sister and myself have all watched the dvd’s that you did for us from our old cine film and we all thought they were just fantastic!

My dad was telling us who everybody was and it obviously brought back a lot of memories for him.It was also so nice for me and my sister to see footage of the family house – The Cedars – and also of our Grandfather who we never met.Just to see him walking around was really odd!

Thank you so much for the brilliant job you did.

Many Many Thanks,

Fantastic service!! Having only seen these films as a vhs copy of a vhs, cine film factory have been able to show me the clear faces of my grandparents who I never had the chance to meet.

Their communication was fantastic and the turnaround time was brilliant too. Thank you so much

Thank you for the excellent service you provided, converting Cinefilm to DVD. You understood how precious these reels are and you explained the process and kept me well informed during the whole order.

It has been amazing seeing the old footage which has been hidden in a loft for years. So many memories. Thank you again and I would highly recommend.

Our MotorCycle Club had several thousand feet of 16mm sound and silent films some of which went back to pre-war. Much of the footage was in a poor state and probably about to expire.

Cine Factory cleaned up and stabilised the film then copied it to MP4.

We are extremely pleased with the results and can now enjoy our library on club nights without having to set up our ancient projectors and screen.

Dear Simon,

Thank you so much - what a brilliant job you have done on the transfers I'm so pleased with the results and certainly brought back some memories.

Please pass my gratitude and thanks to all the team.

Again thank you so much.

Kind Regards, Richard

A really great professional service and a big thank you to Simon for taking the time and trouble to explain the process from cine to DVD.
What a wonderful treat to see all the old films from my childhood which brought back lovely memories.
Loved the results so much that I've ordered copies for my relatives to enjoy as well.
Have no hesitation in recommending Simon's excellent first class service to friends.

Hi Simon

Thanks again for all your help.

If you're looking to have your family film(s) professionally restored and transferred, look no further than Simon Papouis at the Cine Film Factory. His knowledge, expertise and experience sets him apart from any other film restoration specialist in the United Kingdom. Couple this with his friendly, understanding and welcoming personality, and he's one of the easiest people to talk to when it comes to literally anything. The way Simon handled my Grandfather's film was as if it were his own, so you can rest easy knowing your film is in good hands with Simon. I would 100% recommend The Cine Film Factory for any of film requirements.

Would 110% recommend! Simon and the team at The Cine Film Factory were out of this world! After years and years of my mum telling me about her cine films of her as a child at Disney, I finally found them without her knowing and got in touch with The Cine Film Factory. Simon was who I spoke to and he was so helpful and professional. I was worried about some of the films as I could see that they were very old and not looking in the best condition. After they found out it was for my mums birthday who has spent the last 8 months working closely with COVID-19 patients as a nurse in intensive care, they were adamant they wanted to look after her films and give her back those amazing memories she had as a child. Simon’s words were “in these times it’s all about helping each other and your mum has helped us a lot, so we really want to help her” which I just though was so kind. They worked so hard to get as much content as possible off of the films as they could and worked so quickly to get them done in time for her birthday. When my mum saw the films playing on the screen for the first time since she was a child, she just burst into tears with joy and happiness from her childhood memories and that was all thanks to the amazing Cine Film Factory! You gave my mum something she has dreamed about for so many years and I really can’t thank you enough!
