I’ve just visited the shop - thanks Raspberry Pi for coming to Edinburgh! Still lots of goodies left in the final ~2 hours!

Today I successfully replaced the capacitors in my LaserWriter II printer controller boards. Left is before, right is after. Like with computers of that era, LaserWriter II f and g boards need to be recapped to continue working.

Vigil outside @filmhouse Edinburgh tonight. Long might it continue

I’m at the Filmhouse Save The Filmhouse fundraiser screening of “Gremlins” - well done to the team for organising such a great event!

Happy 40th birthday Channel 4’s The Snowman! I watched it tonight in 16mm on my projector - absolutely stunning!

I saw Oppenheimer in 35mm at the The Cameo, Edinburgh last night, projected brilliantly by Pete Naples. Wonderful film and superb presentation!

After enjoying Oppenheimer so much, I decided I needed to have something of Christopher Nolan's on 35mm for myself - and managed to get this trailer for The Dark Knight Rises. Here's some pictures of it being played back on my 35mm projector at home - looks and sounds stunning!

Fantastic to see 35mm showings being so popular!

A century of cinema history arrives at Dean Clough Halifax! The Projected Picture Trust is leaving @esa_learning and moving the equipment stored there to our main storage in Dean Clough Mills. How many projectors do you recognise?

🎄 We're opening our doors this weekend! 🎉 🎥 The event will feature 35mm projector demonstrations with analogue film returning to Ayrshire, alongside our own lights show and Film Festival tickets available at the original ticket booth! 😍 Let the festive season begin! ❤️

Happy 40th birthday to the Apple LaserWriter, containing the first commercial use of Adobe's PostScript language. The LaserWriter, PostScript, and Aldus PageMaker would go on to revolutionise the publishing industry, and then change the entire world. 68kmla.org/bb/index.php?t…

Come and see archival footage presented on real film!

And so it begins… Another year of brilliant films, and even more fantastic projection formats, at Widescreen Weekend 2025
