It's only the second film we have shown on 35mm since getting the cinema open again and the projectors running. It has arrived and our Chief Projectionist reports that it's a nice print on b/w stock. He says it doesn't appear to have a date, but there's a caption in fancy, Gaumont-style lettering stating that it's a "Cinearchive" restoration, so perhaps Dominique knows which version that makes it?
Plenty of seats are still available and a good audience will increase the chances of our programming more 35mm in future. Tickets £7.50 (concessions £6) and no annoying booking fees! Bookings can be made via: www.ticketsource.co.uk/davidleancroydon The screening is part of the Scalarama festival in September. There are screenings all over the country and the organisers encourage venues to screen films on film, so UK members might like to take a look at the festival website.
Rob, you just beat me to it with regard to posting something about this! Sadly, I have a prior commitment which will cause me to miss it, although if you expect to be in in Croydon by about 6pm, you're welcome to (e.g.) join me for a cup of coffee near East Croydon station. Hopefully one or two members in reach of Croydon might come to the film. I can't claim that the David Lean is a beautiful cinema although it's a cosy 68 seat one much loved by local people, and it's located within am attractive Victorian town hall, even though it first opened in 1995.
