Thanks for sharing. I was a projectionist at a local theater in my 20s, and I have very fond memories of working with the older machines. There was something so satisfying working them on Summer nights in the booth alone. The move to digital projectors everywhere was very shortly after I left. Always cool to see people help keep the medium alive. | ||

Circa 1990 I was on the movie committee of the student council at my undergrad school and had the job of periodically checking out a 16mm projector from the library and lugging it across campus to the student union building where we'd show a movie every Friday. I remember showing Rebel Without a Cause. We had a video projector in the same room though and had found it was cheaper to get a license to show VHS tapes which was a lot easier on the projectionist although it was much worse quality. |
