Synopsis
This color film from 1975 explains the basics of 16mm film projection and was most likely made to instruct high school Audio-Visual Club members on how to exhibit 16mm films in the classroom. Beginning with a rudimentary explanation of how a 16mm film projector works, the film demonstrates how to clean and thread projectors, avoid film damage and mis-aligned soundtracks, and how best to set up a film projector and screen in a classroom. Projectors shown include a Kodak Pageant model, a Bell & Howell 540, and a Bell & Howell 1552. Produced by Henry Cheharbakhshi, with educational consulting provided by Robert Edmonds of Columbia College. Distributed by International Film Bureau Inc., Chicago, Illinois.
