[Frameworks] analog cinema machines

[Chris Lange]

I recently finished a documentary on a small second-run movie theater in Minnesota in the final hours before it changed ownership and transitioned to digital projection.  There are some shots of the old projectors, and projectionists working and reminiscing:

In Maplewood, Minnesota, a discount movie theater’s doors are shuttered, as its passionate owner, dedicated employees, and a group of movie-goers watch their community fade into memory. Change is evident in the light projected through celluloid, in the buzzes and clatters of the projection booth, and in a farewell screening of the Evil Dead trilogy on 35mm. The owner turns on the house lights for the last time, as a neighboring megachurch takes over the business to bring the theater into a new era of digital projection.
