Jan-Christopher Horak was curator of motion-picture collections at the International Museum of Photography at the George Eastman House (An independent museum on the site of George Eastman's home). He is the founding vice president of AMIA. He is currently curator of the Hollywood Entertainment Museum and an adjunct professor at UCLA. He does/did NOT work for Eastman Kodak Company. http://www.eastman.org/ http://www.eastman.org/10_colmp/10_index.html http://www.hollywoodmuseum.com/index.html http://www.upress.umn.edu/journals/ I believe you read something out of context. Most film archivists prefer that rare prints be run reel-to-reel rather than off a platter. The biggest issue is the need to remove the leaders for platter projection, which may lead to a loss of continuity. There is also a common "perception" that projectionists who have mastered changeover projection are somehow more skilled. As discussed numerous times on Film-Tech, when operated by a skilled and caring projectionist, the risk of film damage is very low for both platters and reel-to-reel projection. ------------------ John P.
