Today im very happy.... recently one shopping center from my city ask me to show some movies on summer like the open air cinema,of course i put one condition "well if you like cinema MUST BE CINEMA,i dont want to hear nothing from digital things" the boss of the shopping center told me that "He think cinema was the same as dvd video" so i explain to him what 16mm and super 8 was....."super 8?? that old thing that my parents use to film on the beach?" say the boss,"Yes but nothing of old thing,true and loving cinema,i will show you" i said...so yesterday i take my print of goldfinger and my elmo gs 1200 and show the film under the stars to 160 people,what a pleasure i feel when the people start ask me to see the projector...much of them dont believe it was super 8 and when they see it the next question was "still super 8 alive?" i said to all the audience MOOORE THAN EVER ladys and gentlemans,almost all the people said that the image quality was great and more natural than on dvd,thats the trick i say,cinema is way more natural to our eyes than digital because the organic magic of film and speed cadency,so when the film end all the audience start to applause while i make an advertisement of the next film will be showed..7 brides for 7 brothers this time scope 16mm ![[Wink]](wink.gif) and the better of all the boss of the shopping center ask me to explain to the public the diferent of dvd projection and cinema projection before the shows aaahhh at last my oportunity to defend our lovinf cine format ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif) hahaha ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)

Hi Douglas!,no,no for the moment but i plan to do some shots because the cinema under the star will be finished on 23 september
so i will take some pictures soon and post here of course,all i can say now is that for me is a surprise the answer of the audience to the shows,i never expect the public ask for super 8 and now im start thinking to ask to the management of the shopping center to do some courses about filmaking on super 8 because theres a lot of youngs and some older people that are interested to shoot on film once they see some documentarys filmed on super 8 so maybe its time to promote film shooting again because i think much people think that film is dead and for that reason they shot on digital video,once they see the gorgeous and unbeating quality on a big screen all of them want to shoot on film and start to ask where to buy etc,for the moment the web address of derann,classic home cinema and paul foster films are put in a diapo in all my shows .who knows, maybe someday my dream to have my own cinemaclub here in the islands will be come true...the only thing i complaint is the copyrigth the shopping center must pay to obtain the public exhibition license(about 800 euros for 3 months)remeber folks that all our films are licensed for home exhibition only,if you want to do a public show you must contact with the motion picture film licencing company of your country and pay for the license
