Max the Movie Guy added 1 item to Films I've seen on celluloid in the digital era list

FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★½ NOTES: The print started off all worn out but while dusty turned out just fine. Just a couple of noticeable cuts that affect the sound after the opening credits, but the reels often appeared increasingly spotty two minutes before the changeovers. Still, the picture is beautifully clear underneath all the dust and scratches. DATE: July 4th 2022 CINEMA: The Prince Charles Cinema LOCATION: West End

FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★★½ NOTES: After around 20 screenings, the print looked considerably healthy, though it was practically spotless on its world premiere back in October. It wasn’t easy to tell how dusty it was with most of the footage having been digitised from vintage cinema and some of it unremastered, but it was easy to notice the thin vertical lines trailing the left side. Excised from the print was part of the countdown leader, which was not shown at this screening but the projectionist in the US sent director Charlie Shackleton back three burnt frames, all of which captured the ‘6’. That doesn’t sound very enlightening. DATE: June 29th 2022 CINEMA: BFI LOCATION: Southbank

Max the Movie Guy added 1 item to Films I've seen on celluloid in the digital era list

FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★★ NOTES: Presented as part of the BFI’s Judy Garland season, introduced with some context on Garland’s downward spiral as experienced by Dirk Bogarde’s nephew, Ulric van den Bogarde. Print was at its clearest midway through Jenny’s titular closing number, and the quality was for the most part surprisingly clean. A brownish tint throughout after the opening credits, and the only noticeable instance of a missing frame was during Jenny’s phone call with Matt. ‘By Myself’ was so red it practically drenched the room in blood. The screen disappeared for two seconds during even-numbered changeovers, and the projectionist’s hand was easily noticeable at the bottom-right corner, trying to adjust the projection in time for the final reel.

SCREENING: XPlus Laser | The Gallery DATE: June 24th | July 12th CINEMA: Showcase Cinema de Lux LOCATION: Bluewater NOTE: My reappraisal viewing only cost me the booking fee, because Showcase accidentally listed a free Gallery seating option for Insiders when the bar and seats were refurbished and I wanted to put this feature to good use before they took that blunder down. Told the cinema’s manager about it and she kindly let me in anyway.
