Response to prints from 16mm movie film

Try making a 16mm negative carrier for your enlarger so you can enlarge the movie film. I would suggest enlarging onto Arista APH Ortho/Litho film (available from Freestyle in L.A.), and developing in a print developer like Dektol. You can contact print the resulting negative. You will definitely have problems taming contrast, since black and white movie film is produced by a reversal process which is not kind to shadow detail. You could also enlarge onto conventional film such as T-Max, Tri-X, HP-5+, etc., but the Arista would be cheaper.
