Inside the Chilternwood Studio, lights were
low, as the 9x9 Festival and Home Movie Day
films were screened. People kept arriving be-
tween 2pm to 5pm, so we ended up showed
the festival films twice during the afternoon.

After processing, the film is dried by hair dryer
and is almost ready for projection.

modified and fitted with modern lamps.
