FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★★ NOTES: The 1997 re-release, which I had previously seen on 4th August that year at what was then the Greenwich Cinema, marking my first ever cinema experience. Of course not the best quality print but holds up very well after so many years, and looks so much more practical and alive than any digital restoration of Walt Disney’s productions. Not only do the colours look beautiful and naturally tinted, but one can easily notice all the dust on the cels. DATE: September 17th 2022 CINEMA: The Prince Charles Cinema LOCATION: West End

SCREENING: Regular DATE: September 4th CINEMA: Barbican Cinema Café LOCATION: Barbican NOTE: Had spent a free ticket on Picturehouse Central’s first showing of The Assassination of Jesse James, and soon enough the aforementioned screening of Heavy Metal was unveiled so I had one bonus excuse to come up to London that day. It turned out to be my only excuse, when I discovered without checking my emails or noticing the sign on the way in that a fault with the projector meant the screening had to be switched to a digital master. I didn’t want to attend the showing on the following Sunday because engineering works were set to disrupt services to Charing Cross from my hometown. That day, at the very last minute, the staff learned that they couldn’t screen it on 35mm at this time either (and to make matters worse, the screen’s aircon broke), and I had boarded a Victoria train that was held up by a red signal three times and taken two tubes plus two lifts just to get to this cinema. Having planned to return to Central to see The Territory the next day, I decided to save myself from wasting another journey, return both of my tickets and go all the way over to the Barbican instead, which required two 12-minute walks and a tube from Tottenham Court Road.

SCREENING: Summer Exclusives DATE: September 1st CINEMA: ICA LOCATION: The Mall NOTE: First watched virtually a year beforehand as part of Ottawa’s animation festival, and though I would have seen this again in a cinema either way due to my love of animation, OIAF’s virtual copy was special; Eventive’s visual compression is one thing, but the audio frequency was two decades out of date.
