Douglas Curry Film Handler Posts: 21 From: Garbutt, Queensland, Australia Registered: Nov 2002 posted 03-22-2003 12:03 PM                        Just a little post to ask for other Aussie Techs/Projection types to drop a line.. I've seen a few of you (read your posts) over the past months, and would like a central place to find you for some 'local' help should the need arise cheers all.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 03-22-2003 02:25 PM                        Movin' to Yak.  |  IP: Logged Douglas Curry Film Handler Posts: 21 From: Garbutt, Queensland, Australia Registered: Nov 2002 posted 03-23-2003 08:44 AM                        sorry..  |  IP: Logged John Spooner Expert Film Handler Posts: 186 From: South Australia, Australia Registered: Jan 2003 posted 03-23-2003 11:50 AM                     Douglas, good point raised. I am from Adelaide and would be pleased to hear further from you re our profession. I feel sure the other Aussies on here will read your post. Let me know further contact details either by e-mail or post and I can send you my contact and fax details. Do you know of Chris Byrne who is a fellow Qlander to you and a fellow Aussie colleague. Regards, John Spooner.  |  IP: Logged Douglas Curry Film Handler Posts: 21 From: Garbutt, Queensland, Australia Registered: Nov 2002 posted 03-24-2003 09:33 AM                        Just so happens that Chris Byrne is my Tech and mentor I work at the Townsville, QLD Birch, Carroll & Coyle under him. oh, and check ur email ;-)  |  IP: Logged Gunnar Johansson Expert Film Handler Posts: 181 From: Gothenburg, Sweden Registered: Mar 2003 posted 03-24-2003 04:05 PM                        Don´t mean to high-jack the thread but it´s nicely titled... Any other Swedes here? Haven´t seen any yet, but that doesn´t mean they´re not here? Any other Students or people showing films in a kind of Student Union (or similar) enviroment? //Gunnar, who when not looking for old friends is looking for new friends...  |  IP: Logged John Spooner Expert Film Handler Posts: 186 From: South Australia, Australia Registered: Jan 2003 posted 03-25-2003 10:46 AM                     Gunnar, there is a gentleman who regularly posts on here who would be your counterpart in the UK. He is Micheal Brown and he is the chief operator at the Bradford Student Union theatre. You will easily spot him by the ghastly shade of purple he has turned in his latest picture. Best wishes. John Spooner, South Australia.  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?" Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 03-25-2003 10:59 AM                        I started a thread once about the non-US film tech members sorted by country. To get an overview of all participating nations. I think I`ll look for it and bump it up back to the top. I don`t think I have seen another member from Sweden.  |  IP: Logged John Spooner Expert Film Handler Posts: 186 From: South Australia, Australia Registered: Jan 2003 posted 03-25-2003 11:17 AM                     Micheal,(Gisela) will look forward to your list appearing. Rgards "The skunk". The picture of your work uniform was good, the operators must be a flamboyant swashbuckling crew! The picture of Manny going to work was good, did he know his picture was being taken as it looks extremely natural. It must be difficult for him to kneel or bend to guide the film around the lower sprockets in his tight pants and high heels!!  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?" Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 03-25-2003 11:24 AM                        Oh, Manny is very practiced at bending and kneeling I think.  |  IP: Logged Matthew Nock Film Handler Posts: 82 From: Bairnsdale, Victoria, Australia Registered: Jan 2003 posted 03-26-2003 03:29 AM                     quote: Just a little post to ask for other Aussie Techs/Projection types to drop a line..

I am based in Sale, in Victoria - would be great also to get a good idea of ozzies in the projection field... Michael's list is coming along quite nicely. Feel free to give me a yell anytime if you have probs! Cheers.  |  IP: Logged John Spooner Expert Film Handler Posts: 186 From: South Australia, Australia Registered: Jan 2003 posted 03-26-2003 08:53 AM                     Dear Matthew. Tried to send you an e-mail but was advised it was blocked. The question was "is the Sale cinema still screening?" I saw an article about it in a previous Kino magazine. Regards. John Spooner, Adelaide South Australia.  |  IP: Logged Adrian Steiner Film Handler Posts: 18 From: Baar, Switzerland Registered: Dec 2002 posted 03-26-2003 10:37 AM                     quote: Any other Students or people showing films in a kind of Student Union (or similar) enviroment? Yep. For a little bit more than a year now. Cheers, Adi  |  IP: Logged Gunnar Johansson Expert Film Handler Posts: 181 From: Gothenburg, Sweden Registered: Mar 2003 posted 03-26-2003 01:53 PM                        Hi there! I found Michael Brown and e-mailed him. Now I found Adi. I´ll e-mail him too. UK is just a fun boatride away, and Switzerland to suprisingly many people is the same as Sweden so not too many problems there. Thanks for the help, and thanks Michael Schaffer for bumping your old thread back up again, now it seems I am the only swede. Too bad, and I found the link from a swedish website, but maybe they just found it and didn´t want to register. Seems to me I just keep reading and reading, and every time I come back something new has happened. Got to read faster to keep up. Never mind school... Great that I´m in a different time zone so people don´t post while I read. //Gunnar  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

If you know other people who are interested in the cinema in Sweden, you could motivate them to register too. Inger Nilsson rules!  |  IP: Logged
