Double-X 5222 was first introduced by Eastman Kodak in 1959 and quickly became one of the most popular recording media for filmmakers and photographers. Not much has changed in the emulsion since its introduction. For years, Kodak has offered the film exclusively in the professional film sector as a cinema recording film. But why shouldn’t “still photographers” also be able to benefit from its unique look?
That’s why Cinestill spools the film into standard 35mm cartridges with DX coding.
In addition to many classic masterpieces, these more recent productions were shot on Eastman Double-X Film Stock 5222:
*Raging Bull* (1980), *Schindler’s List* (1993), *Stranger Than Paradise* (1984), Memento (2000), Kafka (1991), Casino Royale (2006), I’m Not There (2007), Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003), Manhattan (1979), Cinderella Man (2005), Aferim! (2015), Frantz (2016), American Horror Story (2011–2017), and many more.
