It’s nice to see historical venues like this being kept open and run like they were back in the day. When I first saw the title of the video, I thought it was for the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood CA. I would have been totally surprised if they still used a carbon arc light source in their projectors (most likely completely digital today).
I agree there are not many cinemas left in entire world which house 35mm projection system especially the Carbon Arc lamphouse are extremely rare, l would like to congratulate this couple for preserving history on 35mm cinema
Two theatre halls are closed few years ago in Dire Dawa. I think almost all are closed in Addis Ababa too. The digital era killed them. In some halls local movies (digital) are shown though.
This would have been a wonderful, but short, doc save one thing: lighting the subject. It's so much easier to appreciate a story when you can see the subject matter.

Interesting short. Thank you for posting.

Where is this theater? What city and state? Love those arc lamp projectors. The movies lost something when this technology was abandoned.
I actually directed this piece! The Egyptian is in Dekalb, Illinois.

I thought everything was trasnfered to safety-film?
