CNN, cinema centenary 1995. First screenings. MOMI London.
Description
The facts get conflated in this short news item from CNN (which I've shortened slightly) -so apologies if I seem to be talking nonsense. My interview was at the Museum of the Moving Image, London. The very brief shots of a projector feature an 1896 Wrench (British 35mm film projector) into which engineer Billy Bell had fitted a bright Xenon lamp, so that I could use the machine for MOMI's "Countdown to Cinema" demonstrations.
