Cover Picture
Yes, the messy projection room on the front cover is mine. Shown is one
of my Kinoton FP20 35 mm projectors. These machines take 6000 ft
spools of film, giving a run time of about one hour per reel.
I generally only make up a feature onto the 6000 ft reels for special
occasions (or when I want to see the film with a minimum of interrup-
tions), as making up and breaking down a full feature (6-8 reels) is quite
a lot of work. Generally, I prefer to run the film on the usual 2000 ft reels
– after all, the change-over is the most interesting part of screening a
feature, as long as you don’t get too involved in the film!

The light source on both machines is a 1000 watt xenon lamp The third projector in use is an
EX6100 Eiki 16 mm pedestal cinema projector, it also uses a 1000 watt xenon lamp.
