Digital Film Technology, a privately owned company headquartered in Germany, was founded in 2012, employs approximately 50 individuals, and reported $15.7M in revenue as of 2024. The company specializes in production and post-production solutions, serving film studios, broadcast operations, and post-production facilities. Its offerings include the development of film scanners, shadow telecine, scream grain reducer, a color calibration tool, and the Bones digital intermediate (DI) workflow solution, which enables users to scan, save, and restore films for future generations.
Digital Film Technology (DFT) recently completed the installation of a second Polar HQ film scanner at China News Film (CNF) in Beijing, making CNF the first institution in the country to simultaneously operate two 8K film-scanning systems. CNF expanded its scanning capabilities due to growing demand, selecting Polar HQ for its design suited for demanding archival workflows, including the handling of damaged or fragile film stock. Previously, on March 31, 2026, DFT announced that the Federal Archives of Germany integrated three Polar HQ scanners into its digitization workflow for archival films, supporting projects such as "Metropolis." Earlier, on July 23, 2025, DFT brought its Polar HQ 8K film scanner to Amsterdam, following its installation at the National Image Archive of China News in Beijing. This installation marked the first Polar HQ 8K scanner with a native 8K image sensor at the Central News Film Group, as part of a national initiative launched in 2022 focusing on 4K digital restoration and preservation. On February 12, 2025, Norbert Hinckers became DFT's new owner and CEO.
