Funding the restoration.
Adelphi Films has run at a break-even or loss in recent years as income has been used to digitise and restore the titles. The company survives due to the support of a few generous individuals and of the Dent family.
Directors receive no remuneration and despite some sales of Bluray, DVD and broadcast and internet, it is not anticipated this position will change, due to the high cost of digitisation, restoration and transfer to higher resolution formats.
We have been very fortunate that complete restorations of the 3 of the films – Stars in Your Eyes, Penny Points to Paradise and Lets Go Crazy have been funded by very generous private donations from individuals. The lottery has funded restoration of 6 titles and the BFI funded 12 titles for Bluray and DVD release.
The BFI is a charity and has many calls on its limited funds. We are extremely grateful to them for the wonderful work that they have done with the collection and preservation of the mater material.
If you would like to contribute to the cost of restoration please
