A classmate, Eamon O'Neill, and I are pre-producing a short cinematic documentary on the theme of "Hands". We chose to show the day-to-day operations of a cinema projectionist in modern times compared with what the job entailed in the past, when working with film projectors.

We are making steady progress in lining up all of the permission we require to make this documentary.  The cinema management have given us the green light, and we are awaiting confirmation from the projectionist, Davey. Davey is very enthusiatic about his job and keeps select pieces of disused promotional film roll from the cinema's history in his personal collection.

We have also discovered that BMC has film projectors that we can use to obtain stock footage for cutaways etc. which will be very useful, particularly if we have limited time in the projection room.
