Celebration of Celluloid

Get ready for Celebration of Celluloid, a mini-season where we’ll take a peek behind the curtain to explore the magic of 35mm and the mysteries of the projection booth both on and off-screen.

On Sun 3 November we'll be screening rarely seen 35mm prints of Cinema Paradiso and Inglourious Basterds, along with the Scottish premiere of Splice Here: A Projected Odyssey, an insightful documentary on the transition from film to digital. Accompanying these films will be shorts created by local filmmakers, including one which shines the spotlight on DCA’s own projection booth.

At a time where most cinema screenings are digital, it has become increasingly rare to experience films in their original format. Aiming to briefly rebalance matters for a day, we invite you to join us on Sun 3 November for a celebration of 35mm and the projectionists who continue to screen it.

Enjoy all three films from this season for the special price of £24 when you book at the same time - select your tickets and the discount will be applied automatically at the checkout.

Celebration of Celluloid has been programmed by projectionist Cieran McCusker, who is undertaking a placement in DCA’s cinema team as part of the New Producers programme. This programme is supported by Film Hub Scotland, part of the BFI’s Film Audience Network, and funded by Screen Scotland and National Lottery funding from the BFI.
