FIAF and the Association of European Cinematheques join forces again to offer two projection workshops at ACE member cinematheques this Spring. The Swedish Film Institute is organizing a 4-day projection workshop intended to strengthen the capability to project photochemical film in the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden) and Estonia. Fifteen projectionists hailing from a variety of independent venues, festivals, museums and cinematheques have confirmed their participation at this event, which will take place at the end of May at the beautiful Film House/Filmhuset in Stockholm. This venue, which is home to the Swedish Film Institute, is equipped with a Philips DP70 for 35mm and 70mm film, a Kinoton FP-38E for 35mm and 16mm film, as well as a Kinoton FP18 for 16mm film.

filmprojection21.org se lanzó en 2016, coincidiendo con la publicación de la Carta de la proyección cinematográfica en el siglo 21, que rápidamente fue firmada por numerosos festivales de cine, filmotecas, salas de proyección, cineastas, programadores, etc., para quienes la proyección de películas fotoquímicas era importante. Al firmar la carta, estas organizaciones y personas se comprometían a dar prioridad a la proyección de películas en celuloide siempre que hubiera una copia disponible y a anunciar debidamente la naturaleza de lo que proyectaban en sus programas.

El tiempo ha pasado y, una década más tarde, la proyección de películas fotoquímicas se encuentra en una situación crítica, al tiempo que se aprecia más, ya que su rareza atrae a nuevos públicos.
