Heroes of the Flicks

To the monotonous purring of the projector, between four walls, a single move of his hand gives life to heroes, lovers, enemies, countries, situations, words, feelings of a world so close and yet invisible to us unless he wills it. Actors, directors, film editors, light technicians and sound engineers depend on his hands, on his readiness and alacrity, once he allows us to enter the make-believe universe of cinema. This loner, this hermit in his kingdom will now reveal himself. The projectionist, that unsung hero, revealing what we don’t know about him – and perhaps what he doesn’t know about himself.
