The pink tint of the left-hand projections near the bottom of the article is actually the film print itself shifting colors due to (relatively mild, in this particular case) vinegar syndrome, which can happen when film prints are stored over long periods in relatively warm (unrefrigerated) conditions. This color shift is all down to the individual film print and really has nothing to do with a given projector itself — but until this project I believe there haven't been film projectors that can compensate for color-shifting on-the-fly (projectionist and programmer in a space that regularly screened 16mm & 35mm prints for about a decade). Now, instead of throwing one's hands up when trying to project a color-shifted print, films can be projected and possibly preserved/digitized in something closer to their original state. For the film preservation field, this project feels quite important and could signal a major shift in the way the field operates. |
