Yes, Luigi. The first part of the programme is made of amateur films. Some have a sound strip, some have the sound recorded on a separate tape :-)

Yesterday, The New Adventures Of Tarzan (in French) were screened after an amateur film from Monsieur Castella, the president of the French club. It has been decided to project 16 fps films again so the Buckingham that can project the three speeds (it has three pulleys !) was put out the cupboard (if it this the correct word) to have a check (the 16 fps films projections will (re-)start from the next meeting). It was a good idea to check the projector as it had not been used for a while and needed a little help to run correctly (a capricious belt...)
The Buckingham that will be used.
The three pulleys are visible on the picture. I don't know how rare it is but I had never seen that before. The blades of the shutter are impressively larger than on the other Eiki machines I saw so far.
Monsieur Huard, the projectionnist (he's a real one, that was his job), has a look to check everything. The projector beside is the one used for the 11 th April projection. Both machines are xenon ones. There is a third 9.5 projector (not an Eiki) in the magic cupboard (but more than probably not a xenon). Sadly the May projection will be the last of the season. The Summer break will last until October. The film that will be projected next month (on the 16th May) will be La guerre des valses with some famous actors like Arletty.

As annouced in the programm, the season restarted last Tuesday.
The poster, that comes, as each time, in addition to the programm.
The club's projector ready for another season after its Summer Holiday.
Our happy projectionnist.
In addition to the main film and the two scheduled amateur films, we were lucky to be able to see a film that Monsieur Dupin (on the picture) processed himself to test his home made 9.5 process tank. It has to be tested more but the results are very promising and with a trial and error method, Monsieur Dupin is confident to be able to get a perfect result. These tests are made in addition to the tests that are made by the professionnal Spanish lab. I aked the question about the legal question. It seems that what is forbidden in France is to process black and white films for professionals but not for amateur (it's a question of quantity...).
Next projection meeting is next month. If you're in Paris...

Special day at the place the projections are held. The thema was cinema so the 9.5 club was asked to programm a proection although the season normally ends in May.
The Walls were decorated with cinema related pictures or film posters.

Romy Schneider and Jean Gabin.
The picture doesn't show it well but decoration was very well done.
The lady who organized the cinema day.
The last picture : the two projectionnists. Since there were many activities, the projections didn't attract thousands of people but a very good moment was when a group of enthusiast young children enjoyed several films, including silent ones. It's forbidden in France to picture children for promotion purposes without parent's permission so no photo of that moment but we will remember that.

More people than usual for this November projection. The French film Monsieur Taxi (with the famous Michel Simon) was screened. Next month, another French film, La cage aux rossignols (a remake, Les choristes, had a big success some years ago).
