If they are using a homemade scanner then the most likely reason is that their light source is not spectrally matched to their sensor (camera).

Thanks for the very in-depth explanation, although most of it went over my head I get the general idea.

As to the print you saw, I would put a reasonable amount of money that the scene was indeed pink tinted, but you would be unlikely to conscioulsy notice it unless you were looking for it directly. It doesn't stand out unless you are looking specifically for it, and it is highly dependant on what your eyes have been seeing just before it (I really wish you could get another look at the print to confirm one way or the other though.)

Yeah, you're probably right. I might get another opportunity this summer. It was truly a surreal experience to get a chance seeing a SW-print projected again after all these years. Even if the print was incomplete and we had to watch it without audio, it was fantastic. :)
