Aug 11th 
The Last Projectionist** (12A)                             
(Ipswich Film Theatre)
GB 2011. Electric Films. 82m.

The history of Birmingham's Electric cinema, as discussed by six former projectionists who chart the cinema's progress from early film to digital.
Beautifully and invaluably researched - most from the Electric's original archive - and enjoyably made, and though a safe bet for cinema buffs (like me), the film wallows a little in its love of Independent cinemas towards the end, when a little more about the development of cinema itself would have been helpful.

Produced and Directed by: Thomas Lawes.
featuring Thomas Lawes, John Brockington, Les Castree, Paul Curtin,Phil Fawke, Graham Lee, and others.
