Today, most believe film projectors are relics of a bygone era. The pace of technology and the difficulty of acquiring film means that, over the years, theaters have dropped the analog format one by one.
At Tufts, however, a group of students still works to preserve the “lost art” of projection. Instead of a DVD player, Tufts Film Series (TFS) uses a pair of aging 35mm film projectors for their screenings whenever they can get a film copy of a movie. Though the machines are finicky, trained and in-training TFS projectionists have been working in the booth with them for about three decades.
