About me...

I am semi-retired and have been involved with 16mm film presentations for over 35 years and presented many different programmes to suit the audiences of the day.
However many things change over the years together with the loss of over many single screen local cinemas and with that in mind I decided to change my presentation subjects and concentrate on audiences that I believed would be interested in Nostalgia from the yesteryear of films.

About my Presentation...

My presentation involves the use of two 16mm B&H professional sound projectors with optic sound this being identical to 35mm film system used in cinemas of the past albeit a smaller gauge there is no digital influence in the atmospheric presentation. A 6ft/8ft silver bead screen will be used to influence an all round clearer image.
The film presentation is based on the format of the old type cinema programme. It is very varied covering royalty from the late 1800s up to our late Queen Elizabeth in the mid 50s/60s together with varied News subjects, Trailers from the 30s, Comedy, History, Hollywood Musicals all of which is filled with lots of nostalgic music. Complete with a 60 minute atmospheric programme giving true memories of a time gone by.

All equipment used is supplied by me. The only requirement would be a 230/40 Volt AC to power the equipment.

Fee:

My fee would be £85.00 plus a travel charge of £0.50 pence/mile from Lichfield to venue.
It takes approximately 20/25 minutes to set up all the equipment which will be required to be setup central within the venue with a clear sight and distance of approximately 10/11 meters to the screen.

Nostalgic Film Presentation

My film presentation is based on the format of an old type cinema programme,

Starting with the logo of a very well-known film distributer.

A news reel from the 60s, a typical trailer of two musical films from the 30s and a historical condensed version film on Winston Churchill.

Gaumont British film on royalty from the late 1800s (which depicts sections of moving film the very first ever seen by the general public in those early years) through to our present Queen Elizabeth from her birth until the 50s.

To finish the presentation will be a 2reel film on Those Fabulous Holly Wood Musicals showing the best of the stars from the 30s,40s and 50s including those immortal Film Stars Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers but to name a few.

Finally, the National Anthem to finish.

The presentation will be approximately 60 minutes and each film will run continuously unless an interval is required.
