I was unable to attend the PFA or Roxie screenings of <b><i>World On A Wire</i></b>, but am told that those were both 35mm presentations. Instead I had to make do with seeing it digitally projected at the Kabuki. <br /><br />I have heard rumors that the Roxie was recently planning to replace its carbon arc 35mm projector with another model. There has in the past been an issue with the image going to black intermittently when screening certain 35mm prints. I presume this motivates the intention to bring in another projector. It's possible that this transition has occurred already (no such issue happened during their 35mm screening of <b><i>Lady Cocoa</i></b> this past Tuesday.Brian Darrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17693169310367670898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2531345904528580427.post-58339527616585377772013-10-05T08:16:42.310-07:002013-10-05T08:16:42.310-07:00Brian, will Roxie be screening Fassbinder season i...Brian, will Roxie be screening Fassbinder season in 35mm ? I remember I saw Fassbinder's World on a Wire" at Roxie last year, which was very poorly projected (badly lit, i think) compared to the 35mm projection of the same film at the PFA a few months earlier. I have no idea if the Roxie projected the film in 35mm or not though. If it was, perhaps no two projections are the same. Or I might have seen a digital screening, which might explain it -- but still surprised how badly it looked compared to the PFA projection.Mohitnoreply@blogger.com
