The Dying of the Light

Nov 18, 2015
1h 34m
★ 7.5

For 120 years they brought the light to our screens. Now their light is dying.

Overview

Loving documentary about the invisible hand that brings light in the cinema: the projectionist. Momentarily, his booth is at the centre of this film, which primarily looks back on the time when you could still touch film images. "Do pay attention to that man behind the curtain!"
