Dunno. Looks like an Arri 2C 35mm camera, but Arri made a 16mm rig that
looked very similar. It's hard to tell from that angle... if you could
see the side of the mags it would be obvious.

Is she filming in 35mm or 16mm?

The 16M and the 35-IIC have similar magazines, but the motor mount and
the special tripod adaptation strongly suggest a 35-IIC.
Arri made these in Academy 35/4, Full Aperture 35/4 and in Techniscope 35/2.
Quite similar American made (due to the "foreign assets siezure act")
Cineflex/Cameraflex 35mm cameras are known, and Techniscope
Cineflex/Cameraflex conversions were offered in the 1960s.

It's definitely a 35mm Arriflex. But it doesn't have to be a 2C, could
be model 2A or 2B, at least the door is not the 2C type (different
lock design). But you cannot depend on that detail, because often new
doors were used on older cameras and vice versa.
On the other side of the camera body there is a small round plate with
the model type engraved, but over the years I have seen a number of 2A
and 2B models with new engraved plates (easy to remove and replace) to
sell them as newer models.
However, I doubt that the improvements from 2A to C would have made a
practical differenve for Ms. Wishman's movies - the were neither
anamorphic nor used a sound blimp AFAIK.  |

That's what I love about RAMT; we got more excited about Ms. Wishman's
equipment than we do her "equipment". There seems to be more arousal for
what camera she's using than what's in front of the camera.
It's kind of sad to think that I would probably pass up a weekend in bed
with Marion Cotillard, Jennifer Connelly, or Jessica Alba if I could shoot
65mm. |

If it came down to it any of them would probably prefer to foot your
Panavision rental bill. |
