Brilliant to have the Scottish premiere of Splice Here, a little after 2 years since its UK premiere at @WidescreenWknd 2022.

And even better to create an event around celebrating celluloid with 35mm projection and tours! Well done @DCAdundee!

- CINEMA PARADISO (35mm) + 'In Motion'
- SPLICE HERE: A PROJECTED ODYSEEY (Scottish Premiere)
- INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS (35mm) + 'A Perfectly Healthy Situation'
- Projection room tours on the day!

A century of cinema history arrives at @deanclough Halifax!

The Projected Picture Trust is leaving @esa_learning and moving the equipment stored there to our main storage in Dean Clough Mills.

How many projectors do you recognise?

[The Projected Picture Trust @PPT_Trust]
