This is a good idea to combat ignorance, too.
I've read of yet another historic theatre turned PAC where the group operating it has had their grand re-opening after renovations, saying that the theatre is now a "state of the art stage, film, and media center".
The first thing they did when they started their renovation was to gut the booth! They're running a movie on a DVD & video projector, saying they're trying to gauge if there's any local interest in seeing "films" at the historic theatre.
It's another LHAT member, & somehow they're getting the message that state of the art movies means that they have to get rid of the film projector, & show DVD's on ANY kind of video projector on a 20' screen.
"State of the art stage, film, & media center" that can't run 35mm?
The two things they're missing are: 1. State of the art theatrical film presentation IS film & film projectors 2. How much that state of the art stuff they're throwing in the dumpster costs to replace if they want to BECOME a state of the art film venue.
Do they ever stop to think why the Carmike or Regal down the road isn't just running DVD's on an LCD projector?
