Lovely new profile of New York City 35mm projectionists, ft. @MoMAFilm, @AlamoNYC, @nitehawkcinema, @RoxyCinemaNYC, @Metrograph, @FilmLinc, @AnthologyFilm, and @FilmForumNYC.
For today's @nytimes I wrote a love letter to celluloid, its surprising renaissance in NYC's cinemas, and the handful of projectionists keeping it alive. nytimes.com/2022/09/23/nyreg…
It's a lively scene in NYC. Others doing notable work to show film prints there include @MovingImageNYC, @js_film_nyc, @IFCCenter, @BAMfilmBrooklyn, @ParisTheaterNYC, and @lightindustry (not to leave out 16mm).

Happy 30th birthday to the Secret Cinema in Philadelphia, PA! A brief history: thesecretcinema.com/SC30.htm
A new film-able microcinema in New Orleans!
Silver City Grocery is a nonprofit microcinema & art space in Algiers Point, NOLA. It shows movies on 16mm, 8mm & Super-8 film, as well as on video & also presents live performances. It's located in a former grocery, built in 1880, with a colorful history. Come visit!

I almost missed the fact that they're not just making a 35mm print of a new release — they're making a *black and white* 35mm print of a *color* new release. What a time to be alive.
Guillermo del Toro's (@realGDT) 1940s set noir film "Nightmare Alley" will be released in a special black and white, 35mm film print in Los Angeles next month thewrap.com/guillermo-del-to…
This release continues to bemuse me. The b&w version will show in a slew of US cities, but where it will screen in 35mm is unclear (and unpromoted). teapawt.net/RealGDT/status/1489989…
B&W is not just a formal choice. It really becomes a different experience. Hope you can watch it in the big screen. Here is a list of the cities playing it in the USA.

A little digging reveals some surprises: the websites for @LTStLouis, @KendallCinema, & @EmbassyCinema all quietly indicate 35mm showings this week, though none are habitual venues for 35mm. It will also show at less-surprising places soon, like @musicboxtheatre.

In Granada, @CineMadrigal apparently continues to show new releases in 35mm. Anyone know more about how they're managing this? This new article references a Romanian film lab but doesn't provide much detail! elpais.com/cultura/2022-02-0…

They have been getting loads of press lately. Here's a radio interview with the owner, also from today: canalsur.es/noticias/el-cine…

Just noticed that @LOC_AV has been doing a monthly post listing recent film print (and DCP) loans to cinemas. Not always super specific about media formats, but really cool to see the wide range of exhibitors they loan to! blogs.loc.gov/now-see-hear/c…

Last night they were projecting 9.5mm films in Buenos Aires, as part of the BAZOFI festival! It's the 100th anniversary of the format this year.
25/1, 18hs.
41. Proyecté y vi SONG (1928) de Richard Eichberg, c/la inmarcesible Anna May Wong en 9.5mm. Con Fabio Manes amamos con devoción a Wong y lamento que nunca viera esta copia, que completé en 2021 con dos incompletas, una de Víctor Iturralde y otra de Alfredo Li Gotti.

Just learned about the Museo del Cine Pehuajó, a collector-run museum and cultural center in Argentina that opened in 2020. They're showing RAMBO in 35mm this Thursday, per their social media!

Pehuajó's local news website did a fun profile of them, with lots of photos: mirapehuajo.com.ar/2020/09/m…
A handsome pair of Kinoton FP 20s back in action at the Maine Film Center's Railroad Square Cinema in Waterville, ME.
We're firing up the projectors for the first time since 2019 in anticipation of the 1/31 screening of IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE on 35mm! 📽️ We hope to see you there! bit.ly/3F29RwJ

Since September, we've checked on well over 500 of the cinemas, festivals, & presenting orgs listed in the directory, confirming that they're still active & still projecting film sometimes. Here are the latest updates (new additions to the directory are highlighted in yellow).
Pleased that the most recent round of updates includes 35mm screens in both Annandale-on-Hudson and Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
