In the Curtis Theatre of the George Eastman Museum, Tim Wagner will present a Focus 45 titled Film Projection 101: The Passionate Projectionist.

The worldwide transition to digital cinema exhibition has left few opportunities to learn and practice motion picture projection skills. As a teaching institution that promotes film exhibition and excellence in archival projection standards, however, the George Eastman Museum is known internationally as a leader in this field. Film Technician Tim Wagner will discuss the important role of the Moving Image Department and the L. Jeffrey School of Film Preservation in teaching the next generation of projectionists, including the forthcoming projection manual to be published by the Eastman Museum in 2017.
