When you think of the Oscars, you probably don’t think about Kodak.

But ask Terry Taber and he’ll tell you about the pair’s history.

“Kodak’s been at the forefront of the Oscars since the beginning,” said Taber.

Working as Kodak’s chief technical officer for over a decade, Taber knows everything about film.

“This is the 35 mm and we put it into these canisters and that’s what’s purchased by Hollywood,” Taber said.

Shooting movies on film creates a different look, one he says is appealing to directors.

“That look, that feel, that emotion of film comes through for a lot of Hollywood directors,” said Taber.

Several movies nominated for Oscars this year were made using Kodak film.

At The Little Theatre in downtown Rochester, Oscar season is one of the busiest times.

One of those nominees, the Fablemens, is shot on Kodak film.

It’s something theater employees take pride in showing.

"It just means so much to have Kodak here in town and to make these movies,” said Scott Pukos, the communications manager for the theater. “I just think that connection is really special.”

From being processed to ending up on screens, Kodak film creates a full circle moment for Rochester movie buffs.

"It brings emotion seeing something you’ve worked on, that you made on this big screen,” said Taber.

And they’ll be watching the Oscars, waiting to see if another trophy is added.
