Two Dolls Donny should take comfort that, after he is ejected from the White House (and before he is gaoled), he can easily find work at a fleapit local to Mar-a-Lago that has a vacancy for a #Projectionist...

Hi, I'm Peter.

Much of my life revolves around #movies. I watch a lot of them, and I work as a #projectionist and #film booker at the local #cinema.

When I'm not watching or showing movies, one of my pastimes is #translating preferably free and #opensource #software. Another interest is #science and #technology in general.

I have a Bachelor of Science in #ComputerScience. After receiving my degree, I studied theoretical #philosophy (primarily #physics and #mind) for two years.

#introduction

I am a licensed #projectionist, it was one of my odd jobs as a student in the 90s, the longer lasting of them all. The syllabus of the exam had been written 40 yrs earlier and contained references to #nitrate safety. I have never touched an arc lamp, but I had to show I was vaguely aware of its operation, among other things. Same for the sand bucket!

Fast forward to 2023, and #cinemas have started to advertise projections of #films ON FILM, like it was some kind of novelty. "On #35mm !!!". Heck, the film may even break live, or have scratches and splices! I don't know if I feel cool and trendy (_man, I was there_ 😎) or a piece of antique 😂

Hi! I'm an #analog #film #projectionist (#35mm, #70mm, #16mm) working at the Academy #Museum of Motion Pictures in #LosAngeles, CA (views=my own). I mostly post analog film frames and behind the scenes photos/videos from the #projection booth. Full bio: https://spencerchristiano.com

I like #movies, #activism, #SocialJustice, #technology, #socialism, #VideoGames, #BoardGames, #DND, and #cats. Let's build a less centralized Internet!

Hi! I'm an #analog #film #projectionist (#35mm, #70mm, #16mm) working at the Academy #Museum of Motion Pictures in #LosAngeles, CA (views are my own). I mostly post photos of analog film frames, with the occasional behind the scenes photo/video from the #projection booth.

I co-authored and co-edited "The Art of Film Projection: A Beginner's Guide," a comprehensive outline of the materials, equipment, and knowledge needed to present the magic of #cinema to an audience. I also wrote "Endangered Features," a one-person play about the world of #FilmArchiving, #FilmProjection as a technical art, and the evolution of cinema exhibition from its analog roots to cutting-edge digital.

Member of #IATSE Local 695 and the Association of Moving Image Archivists. I like #movies, #unions, #SocialJustice, #technology, #socialism, #VideoGames, #BoardGames, #scooters, #ElectricVehicles, and #cats. Let's build a less centralized Internet!
