[Frameworks] 16mm in the classroom - projector noise!

[chris at signaltoground.com]

Hi brook
When nathaniel was in Toronto for wavelengths he told the anecdote  
that part of the reason he chose silent speed as his preferred  
projection speed was it made  the sound of the projector in his living  
room less abrasive. So while showing his films without a booth might  
not match your theatrical experiences, it will get your students  
closer to experiencing the films like nathaniel's own first viewings.  
Probably doesn't hurt students to experience the sonic difference of  
film either.

I find that making sure the sound is well amplified from the front of  
the space draws some attention away from the clatter of the projector.

Best
Chris
