Hello! I'm a longtime lurker and now member of this forum. I'm 27 and a collector of Super 8 and 16mm films. My primary projectors include an Elmo GS1200 mkII, an Elmo CX350, and a refurbished Philips-Norelco FP-16 (this one I'm saving for the day when I can exhibit in a theater setting!). Just saying hello, and sending many thanks to the longtime members here who have provided much valuable information on everything from film stock identification tips to projector operation!

Greetings to you, Zach!

Since you are within striking distance, I want to make sure you know that you are about two weeks away from the best small gauge film collector's convention ever held on the Jersey Shore, in October, at a Hotel (...at least as far as I know!)

CineSea 18: October 12th-14th

-and if you already know, my work here is done!

All I ask is a wide screen and a projector to light her by...

Thanks everyone! Growing up in the 1990s, I never saw film projected with halogen light. My Elmo and Philips machines, being xenon, provide a far more familiar light type to my eyes...
I didn't grow up watching older movies (i.e. "Citizen Kane") on film. The best I could get were basically Janus transfers on VHS or, later, DVD.
The revival theaters had already nearly all closed by the late 1990s. So, when I started collecting film and watching these prints, it was a revelation. I would say this story is very familiar to all but the most fortunate of my generation. There is a great desire among my generation to view older features on film, but very few if any of what my parents called 'art house' cinemas or 'revival' theaters exist on the East Coast of the USA anymore...
I and my friends all ask: What happened to them? There should be a revival of the revival theater!
