There IS a projectionist forum, and this isn't it, this is primarily a shooters forum. The projectionists have movie theaters in their basements and they collect films, 35mm, 16mm, s8mm, r8mm, sound and silent. They have a LOT of knowledge. They splice, clean, restore band sawed commercial release prints and other prints. Fantastic.

Shooters here and projectionists there could learn a lot from each other, and perhaps offer prints, new prints, our prints, to them and to the world.

It may say 16mm but don't let that fool you. They collect and show Super 8mm commercial release prints, costing hundreds of dollars each. Check out the forum there.
I found another collecting forum posted above and wanted to start a thread about this aspect of shooting 8mm.
