This past weekend, Alamo Drafthouse and Kodak partnered to host the very first annual “Reel Film Day” to celebrate 35mm cinema (official website). To mark the occasion, numerous classic films were projected in 35mm at all of the various Drafthouse locations around the country. In celebration of 35mm and the glory of cinema, Drafthouse founder/CEO Tim League wrote a passionate essay on Indiewire to commemorate the first Reel Film Day. The full essay is titled “35mm Film Deserves Your Respect: Alamo Drafthouse Founder Tim League Makes the Case” and it’s a must read, not just because Tim is one of the smartest guys in this entire industry, but also because it’s such a wonderfully vibrant reminder of the true value of art and film.
