As much as we movie buffs hate to see the end of celluloid, we know its going to happen sooner rather than later.
In fact, we recently reported on TG that the major studios are no longer going to send film prints to theaters, and the cut off point where theaters better have digital projectors will be next year.
It was when I saw an article in England’s The Independent that I was thinking of all this again, but from a much different perspective. The article was about “a 35mm survivor,” a theater projectionist from England named Dave Norris, who did his job for thirty years before ultimately leaving. The first film Norris ever operated as a projectionist was The Empire Strikes Back, and the last was Snow White and the Huntsman.
