Aktwechsel - 35mm Workshop

In the organizer's words:

Around a decade ago, digitization abruptly and completely changed the cinema landscape. Within a short space of time, films were no longer delivered to cinemas as 35mm film reels, but almost exclusively in the then new standard format DCP (Digital Cinema Package): initially on hard disks and now mainly as downloads via specialized platforms.

Although digital projection offers many advantages, the cinema in the Blauer Salon attaches great importance to continuing the tradition of analog film projection. If a 35mm print of a film is available, it is preferred to the digital format whenever feasible and sensible.

The fact that our audience appreciates the love of analog has not escaped us. The screening room, the secret place where the light comes from, has often been opened on request. But from now on, the doors here are open. Come along to the workshop and lend a hand when it's FILM DOWN!!!

THE WORKSHOP OFFERS THE FOLLOWING CONTENT:
- a detailed look behind the scenes of analog film screenings in the Blue Salon
- an introduction to the history of film screening and how to identify different film materials as well as image and sound formats
- the evaluation of the film material and preparation for the screening
- Manual insertion and screening of analog film material, also in cross-fade mode with two projectors
