Who is Bolex?
Bolex is a Swiss company (Bolex International S.A. of Yverdon) that manufactures motion picture cameras and lenses, the most notable products of which are in the 16 mm and Super 16 mm formats. The Bolex company was initially founded by Jacques Bogopolsky (AKA Jacques Bolsey or Bolsky) in 1927. Bolex is derived from his name. He had previously designed cameras for Alpa. Bolex cameras were particularly important for early television news, nature films, documentaries and the avant garde, and are still favored by many animators today. The majority of Bolex cameras manufactured since the 1930s use a spring-wound clockwork motor. The 16 mm spring-wound Bolex is a popular introductory camera in film schools. The Bolex factory in Switzerland continues to produce new 16mm and Super 16 film cameras.
