West Palm Beach, FL – January 30, 2015 – Olympusat, Inc., the TV and media industry leader specializing in Spanish-language TV networks and independent TV networks, has been providing its restoration services to producer Guillermo Calderon’s acquired catalogue of classic Spanish-language motion pictures from the Golden Era of Mexican cinema.
Olympusat’s Film Restoration department, which has been restoring hundreds of classic movies for nearly 4 years, is bringing iconic Mexican films back to life from the 40’s 50’s and 60’s from Calderon’s library, including classics such as La Aventurera (1950) starring late Cuban iconic actress Ninon Sevilla, La Ilegitima (1956) and La Rondalla (1949).
The 35mm films, optically scanned to 2k, are restored frame by frame to their original luster. “It’s painstaking work. After all these decades, the films are in pretty bad shape,” said Jim Wicks, Senior Colorist and Manager of Film Restoration Services at Olympusat. “We are giving them new life and bringing them to a new audience of film fans in the 21st Century.”
