Private Screening of The Empire Strikes Back 1980 35MM - East Coast USA Sept 2013

Along with the screening of Star Wars last year. This year continues the tradition of screening the Original Trilogy.

Although film is no longer being used, this year allowed for a digital screening of a combination of several of the prints used for our restoration.

Also, this gave us the advantage of synchronizing the sound correctly, and allowing for a more accurate adjustment of the color correction on it.

A few members of OT attended, and we will try to have a report, and thoughts of how it went, along with our impressions.

Thanks again to OT for the support, and to all the members following our restoration projects.

uhhh...where?!? :)

What??

Nah, it's always just a closed group... which is probably for the best regarding the project(s)

I assume it's just a placeholder for the reports and photos of the event?

I'm pretty sure that's redundant.

Please read this post for a first hand view of the screening:

This wouldn't have been anywhere near Massachusetts would it? Anyway, I'm just jealous of the attendees.

Yes, actually on the East Coast.

Is it possible to get in on any future screenings?

Another screening was held last weekend, at a private residence. A few screenshots and videos were taken.

Not too many, but it was the DCP version. The currently cleaned version that is 3.1 is still being worked on.

About 10 people saw it, and everyone enjoyed it.

They do it for the chicks.  Just like us.

This is done to document the screenings, along with the other movies. There was a preview of a cleaned reel, but no video was taken.

Team Negative1

Any videos of the audience then? [/loljustkidding]

We think it's obvious that Team Negative1 is made up of a group of like-minded sentient chairs.

^We think you mean "like-minded sapient chairs".

 No, we don't.

There will be another screening of this in a few weeks, with an improved cleaned up version of the print. More details and impressions will follow once its screened.

 You're in Mass? I am as well, on the north shore. How 'bout yourself?
