SPECIAL EVENT – Hybrid booths, nomadic projectionists
CHALLENGES OF CONTEMPORARY ARCHIVAL FILM PROJECTION
The transition to digital technology in movie theaters has been completed, operator training is disappearing, and automation and remote control have become standard practice in cinema operation over the last 15 years.
Nevertheless, there is an increasing number of cultural structures outside of commercial distribution and also outside of archive networks that wish to include heritage programming in their activities. This evening proposes a discussion about contemporary projection booths and the challenges of projection itself, especially for archival films. A first roundtable will discuss technical installations and the (re)activation of projection booths, while a second roundtable will address the technical needs of collections and archives for the circulation of their films. The discussions will be accompanied by short films, and the evening will close with a feature film which deliberately leaves the choice of assembling its reels up to the projectionist.
Cet événement est organisé avec la participation de Deniz Erdem (chercheuse et projectionniste, Bruxelles) et suit l'atelier de projection qui aura lieu à CINEMATEK avec le soutien de l’ACE (Association des Cinémathèques Européennes) et de la FIAF (Fédération Internationale des Archives du Film).
