Table of Contents LaborBerlin: State-of-the-Art 16mm Projector Background While artists all over the world continue to work with celluloid film, they are often confronted with precarious screening conditions due to increasingly old and hard to repair equipment. In particular, film projectors and their aging mechanical parts have become less dependable, contributing in many cases to the destruction of the film material instead of ensuring its optimal presentation.
Due to our logistic restrictions across countries, this was the first opportunity for our research team to see our prototype in a direct, side-by-side comparison with a similar, unmodified projector model with the original 250W halogen bulb, both projecting the same film. Matt McWilliams pointed out that back in the days when drive-in theatres in the US increased the brightness of their projections, they also upgraded from two to three shutter blades to compensate for the occurring flicker Swapping prints and lenses systematically finally helped us understand that our prototype delivers a slightly brighter, sharper and much whiter image compared to the Eiki EX-2000 N2 Xenon Projector.
