Frames found under the pedastol of the Kalee21 projector we have been using at the Cube Cinema since 1998 that was recently retired to make way for some modern machines. For an 18 year period I thought this small sample of wasted, discarded, lost or just dropped frames would make a good Archeo-Cube project. So I am going to scan …

I’ve been doing more tests with film surface distress and a better set up to rephotograph. This frame shows the effect after only minutes exposure to the distressing agent. The circular area is about 5mm in diameter.

Here is the basics of a small rig I am going to use to make digital copies of a small amount of Nitrate film found at the Cube Cinema a few years ago. The b/w positive print dates from 1947 and appears to be a short Charlie Chaplin film. I am going to have to build a base with X, …

I’m asking people this question. Seeking peoples definitions in simple terms. Here I will compile the answers. 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.

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 …

Nice acquisition, portable 35mm by Microcine, Italian. Planning on using it for Vi image/projection on 6th June at qujunktions Dark Matter event.
