Seems like a good moment to make some documentation of club rombus. Ill make a static page then add to it. Of course all these links really do is gravitate back to the Cube. For Rombus I’m going to have to dig into the paper, fax, photocopy archives. How did we manage before the www? Well we didn’t have …

So here is a camera being used as a projector, ie a light source is inside the camera body projecting through the gate where a piece of film is held. The left one has a 135mm (Apochromat, Kinoptik) lens BUT the right one has a cinema 35mm lens with focal length of 40mm. The image sizes are below. The camera …

If this question was “what is A cinema” we would get answers that only relate to he institution of a building and its use and this would weight the enquiry too much in one (predicatable) direction. James Reed “Film based projection” (he was …

After a hard care share journey to Hannover (5 hours) we were dropped rather weirdly at the wrong place. We eventually got a train to Hannover and were met by Peter Hoffman from K-I-S. We walked to the cinema and were very impressed by this place. I’m jumping to the screening …

So we showed the film at Cinema Nova on thursday and did a Q&A afterwards with some great questions and surprise visitors. Namely Leah, old Cube volunteer who popped up in Brussels. It was amazing to see everyone at Nova again, Guill, Seb, Katia, Phillip and meet new people like Denise. The film was warmly received and looked great projected …
