[Frameworks] Super16mm projector's gate

[Esperanza Collado]

Hmmm. Strange enough the first time I saw a film projection on this format
was at a gallery - a Tacita Dean show. However, I thought it would be easier
to find. I might then get a gate modified and have a spare one for regular
16.

Thanks, Freya.
