The successful projection of archival films can
only be accomplished by taking into account some specific requirements
with regard to the design of the cinema, the properties of the
projection equipment and the knowledge of the projectionist. The
Advanced Projection Manual is designed to provide cinema engineers
and projectionists with the necessary technical know-how and hands-on
advice so that classic films can be presented the way they were
intended to be, without compromises with regard to image and sound.
The book also includes a much-needed introduction
to electronic and digital projection technologies.
The Advanced Projection Manual is published jointly
by FIAF (The International Federation of Film Archives) and the
Norwegian Film Institute.
The book compromises over 300 pages and illustrations.
Hard back.
Reviews
The book has been reviewed by Cinema
Technology in the September 2006 issue, and in fact they tought
the book was so good that they reviewed it twice:
I obviously liked the The Advanced Projection
Manual very much, and was a little concerned that I might have
given a too rosy review, so passed it on to a colleague
whose life has been spent in cinema projection, Alan McCann, with
instructions to provide a warts an all
evaluation" - Jim Slater
"this is probably the best book on Cinema
Projection that is likely
to appear for many years to come." - Alan McCann
