Dying of the Light (Peter Flynn, 2015)

Dying of the Light presents an amusing and melancholy history of movie projection through the last generation of career projectionists. As the dominance of digital projection threatens the craft of handling and projecting celluloid with near extinction, these projectionists offer candid reflections on the pleasures and challenges of an unnoticed life in the projection booth. The film provides a loving tribute to the art and romance of the movies and to the unseen people who bring light to the screen. (94 mins., DCP)
