As the article states, this was screened at the London BFI the other day. It’s an original technicolour print from 1977. There’s a ten minute video about it here.
I’ve heard interviews with the people at the BFI and if I remember correctly, they have a film scanner capable of 12k scans. The films in the archive all get digital scans made for backup purposes.
So sitting on a hard drive, somewhere at the BFI, is probably a huge 4K scan of this very print.
But I presume the best we will have access to is 4K77.
