Critics Review
Unique and comprehensively informative…
The book does not simply instruct; it inspires. – Ted Knighton * Film International *Despite the deadly difference between nitrate and safety prints, the Cinematheque’s chief projectionist Ben Tucker says he takes his detail-oriented work just as seriously no matter what kind of film he’s projecting. – Chris Lindhal * Indiewire *Doggedly holding the archival line from inside the projection booth is a refrain heard through all 10 ensuing chapters, which lucidly explicate the process of showing movies on film as both a technical challenge and a sacred responsibility. – Bruce Bennet * Film Comment *For more than 100 years, people saw movies on film; now they mostly see digital projection. Enter “The Art of Film Projection,” part manual, part manifesto from the George Eastman Museum in Rochester, to preserve knowledge of the craft. – Ben Kenigsberg * New York Times: 2019 Holiday Gift Guide *Unique and comprehensively informative… * Midwest Book Review *
