How does a film go from the vault to the projection booth? Why is the projectionist hidden up in a booth, anyway? What role does film exhibition play in film preservation? Join Dryden Theatre Chief Projectionist Sheryl Smith for a look at the answers to these questions and more. Motion picture film projects through an optical illusion, frame by frame, with intermittently moving images, both upside down and backward, then passes by light that is positioned by a lens, and thrown across the theater to the big screen for all to see. It doesn’t get much cooler than that!
