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.

This event is organized with the participation of Deniz Erdem (projectionist and researcher, Brussels) and follows the projection workshop which will take place in CINEMATEK with the support of ACE (The Association of European Cinematheques) and FIAF (International Federation of Film Archives).
