THE FUTURIST Illuminated by the light of the projector, the interior of a large, 1920s picture house is documented from a central position in the stalls.

\n<\/strong>The Futurist Cinema, Scarborough, is threatened with closure. This 2000 seat cinema and theatre is a pre-digital relic that needs to be recorded before it is potentially erased from memory. As independent cinemas struggle to find funding to make the switch from 35mm to digital projection systems I felt I wanted to make a series of films in homage to film and the cinema experience. The Futurist<\/em> is a condensed experience of film viewing, a single 360 degree animated shot of a feature film projection in an empty 1920s cinema, where the sound becomes a cacophony of past projections and the aural experience is closer to that of the projectionist than the audience.
