I just saw that the film 1966 film Modesty Blaise has
a 16mm Bell and Howell 644 projector (or something like it)
in it .

The actress Monica Vitti turns it off. [Smile]

'Cinema of our time' produced by yours truly full of 35mm projectors and one 70mm showing Batman filmed 30 years ago. Proud that Derann distributed my efforts as well as good old Perrys.

Wow!

How is it possible that this thread has gotten this far without a mention of Lee's Cinema in Miniature?

-it is downright "projectorful"!

Many films have their moment on screen at CineSea, and we appreciate them all, but this is the only one I remember ever drawing applause.

(I guess it found its perfect audience...)

Currently in the UK there is a fascinating programme showing on TV called "Back In Time For School" in which a group of youngsters experience school life in various decades. In episode 3, the 1950's, a 16mm projector is introduced as an aid to teaching.
Unfortunately, I didn't get the make or get screen shots.

What I cannot understand is the way the film was loaded onto the machine. The full spool was loaded on the back and the take up spool on the front. I am trying to work out how the film would run through the mechanism as it would somehow need to loop back after the film gate to the take up spool without cutting in front of the projected picture. Can anybody enlighten me, please?

That's Great Jim...a good find! All that gear just to have sound movies. It's hard to imagine that people actually had the patience to setup something like that...then again Samantha was a witch...she probably just wiggled her nose [Smile]

I also saw a Bolex 18-5 in last weeks Fox's not-so-Live presentation of the musical Rent. If you are familiar with Rent you'll know the character Mark is taking 8mm film through out the play. Towards the end when he is playing the developed film back you see his little Bolex sitting on the table.

Melvin, it may have been an early Kalart Victor projector. They had the take up reel in the front. Not uncommon for them to be used in schools. The were very kind to film.

I just watched a 2015 movie called The Age of Adaline . Where a women born in 1908 never ages past her 20's due to a mysterious near death accident. Cast Blake Lively (as Adaline), Michiel Huisman, Harrison Ford, Ellen Bursteyn, and Kathy Baker.

Adaline as time goes by likes to watch films from her past.

That seems like an interesting film, never heard of it before...

Just found the trailer and the period look seems great. Might buy it.

Thanks it was one I didn't recognise. It turns up in two or three episodes used by different people in different locations.

Not a movie but here is an appearance in a new Video Game called Control. This is just a teaser. I wonder what projector it was modelled after.

Looks like the Eumig 800 series to me [Wink]

In the film "Le gendarme en balade" (1970) with Louis De Funes, the bolex SM8 appears when he shows a film to an old colleague.

And in the new introduction of the "Oggy and the cockroaches", an animated version of the Russian 16 mm projector "LOMO KINAP UKRAINE 4" is showed.

One quick shot in the trailer for the new horror film ANTLERS shows 16mm projection still used in schools!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rM5WnicOAE

Perhaps it is a period piece.
