I thought <b><i>Yellow Submarine</i></b> looked for the most part excellent that way, although the more stroboscopic moments lost something in translation. Perhaps if I felt more secure that 35mm screenings were going to continue to be an option for the foreseeable future, I wouldn't make such a priority of catching as many as I can, in fear that each might be my last chance to see a particular film in a way closely approximating the filmmaker's original intentions. DCP screenings, even of rarely-shown titles, don't inspire that sense of urgency in me. <br /><br />I think I'll also be less wary of them once the kinks have been worked out; I considered attending the PFA showing of <b><i>the Mattei Affair</i></b> and am glad I didn't, as that subtitle snafu would have been infuriating! <br /><br />On the plus side, I was running late to the shorts program following it at the venue, so the DCP-created delays may have saved me from missing Kathy Geritz's intro and perhaps even Deborah Stratman's opening short, which turned out to be one of the better ones in that program.<br /><br />I will definitely be there for the Novikoff program today.
