Operating the OHPs meant standing up and this probably caused some obstruction to visibility for some of the audience. At the bottom left of the picture is the 16mm modified to hand cranked which featured in the …

They were hosting a Kino Climates meeting and it was a great event with lots of meetings, dialogue, screenings and socialising. The Kino Climates network has great potential. One thing I will be pushing now is proclaiming a ‘CELLULOID’ movement …

Heres one of two Rank Aldis 16mm portable projectors I have just acquired. Aldis Brothers were based at Hall Green In Birmingham. The Rank Organisation bought them up in the mid 1960’s.
