Inside the box: A projectionist’s world – The Boar

ho plays the movies at today’s multiplexes and cinemas?  Until 2011 it was a projectionist who performed a range of duties to do with preparing and showing reels of 35mm celluloid film. Since then, the vast majority of cinemas in the UK and elsewhere have not only got rid of their 35mm projectors, but have made the projectionist redundant too.  Movies arrive as computer files, and operating the digital projector requires none of the specialist skills or knowledge the projectionist spent years acquiring.
