Not watching much at the moment its still summer, however last night watched a little bit of film, Mickey's Service Station on Super8, a NZ 16mm 1950s NFU travel film "Four Ways To Milford" stunning scenery, beautiful color, a 20min reel of 35mm film of adds and trls included ET, finished the night with should I say it the VP the movie "The Client" 1994 an excellent film starring Tommy Lee Jones, Susan Sarandon and Brad Renfro makes a nice change from the current films on the cinema, sadly I understand Brad Renfro died from a drug overdose last month, well its a beautiful summers night so no films tonight.

Did a show in a local social club this afternoon for the Great Western Railway Retired Staff Association. This is the 6th time for me to screen steam train films for them.
The selection the made was Movietone News:150th Anniversary Of Steam; BTF Train Time; Land Of The Little Trains; R,H&D Railway.
Before the programme started one of the audience handed me a
spool with about 200ft of super8 film on it. He told me it was about 25 years old, he was in it but had never seen it. In fact the film had never been shown to an audience.
It turned out to be a quite well made record with members of the Neath Valley Railway Preservation Society removing an old signal box and using a crane, put it onto a lowloader. It had live sound and the colour was very good. Being very local, the members enjoyed it, with the person appearing in it offering to sell his autograph at the end of the meeting!
I have now been asked to repeat the whole programme to the above-mentioned NVRPS in May. Had a little problem (again) with the GS before the start, but with that put right the m/c then perfomed beautifully, the sound was incredible in the large hall. Have another show next Wednesday for a Senior Citizen group;good old super 8. Mal
