Oh, I’ve always thought this would be a great job. I agree with other posters about 35mm films. It’s very like my preference for vinyl — there are aesthetic aspects of the experience beyond perfect reproduction of the source material. And maybe similar to liking mechanical watches — there’s something attractive to me about mechanical complexity, even again at the cost of precision.
Cinema 21 in Portland had a union projectionist for many years. Per union rules, he projected his license during the opening reel. One day it stopped, and I never got the story why. https://www.cinema21.com/
The Hollywood in PDX also shows a lot of 35mm films. They’re a non-profit, and some years ago they had a funding campaign to buy a new 70mm print of the 2001 re-release. Seeing that on the big screen was unreal. https://hollywoodtheatre.org/
