THE STORY
The history of CIR dates back to the
50' s when Leo Catozzo used to work as an
editor for the italian cinema industry. In that period he was already
famous, had won in 1956 a Critics Arward for the editing of "War and
Peace" by King Vidor, and had also edited the most important Fellini's
film, such as "Dolce Vita",
"The Road", and "8½". The first article produced by
CIR was the splicer, afterwards simply know as the "Catozzo",
born as a result of a serious form of allergy to the smell of the cement
suffered by his inventor which produced the happy intuition to use
adhesive tape in its place, for joing the various film ends together. This
idea was subsequently consolidated and patented all over the world,
developing into all the various currently existing models. In 1991 Leo
Catozzo was awarded the "Technical Achievement Award" for the
contribution his splicer gave to the development of Motion Picture
Industry. In addition, during the last twenty years, CIR has been
increasingly expanding his production range to presently cover Equipment
for Professional Cinema, Infrared Surveillance System, Photofinishing
Equipment and Video-Microscopy Medical Equipment. |
