This brief workshop is designed to ignite (or re-kindle) your obsession with small gauge (8mm and 16mm) film presentation. ‍ Together, we will spend two hours: (1) reviewing basic concepts and techniques that apply to all small gauge film projectors, (2) getting hands-on instruction in threading and projecting film prints, (3) sharing tips on procuring, testing, repairing, and maintaining your own film projector. ‍ Participants can expect to come away more comfortable using small-gauge projectors and better-equipped with the resources needed to begin (or continue) their journey as a film projectionist. ## ‍ ## SUNDAY, APRIL 1910:00AM - 1:00PM $30 general, $25 for Whammy or TAPE members.12 seats available. ‍ ‍ *Presented by* *[T.A.P.E.](https://tapeanalog.org/)* *- a Los Angeles based 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to facilitating support for analog media through free digitizing, education, hands-on training, equipment rentals and volunteer opportunities.
