Moving image review (1988]-)

(Fragile Film continued from pg. 2) To avoid such a tragedy, unique film of any value should not be projected. If for some reason, projection is unavoidable, take steps to help film pass safely through a projector. What follows are guidelines, not a guarantee. • First, wind through the film manually and check for damage. • Make necessary repairs. • Attach several feet of leader to the headof the film. Most damage occurs in the beginning, and with sufficient leader, improper threading or projector malfunctioning will be detected before the image reaches the rollers. • Check the working condition of the projector and clean it. • Someone who is experienced in threading a projector should be in charge. • Always stay attentive to the sound of the projector and the film running through it. Any odd sound or change should be attended to immediately. Film that is so shrunken that it does not fit properly on the sprocketed rollers must not, under any circumstances, be run through a projector. Handled carefully, film will delight and inform us and the generations after us with its powerful magic.
