EAFA will screen archive film relating to cinema going and filmmaking to celebrate the 100th anniversary of 9.5mm film.
The 9.5mm gauge was an ‘Astounding Invention’ when it was introduced in December 1922. For the first time filmmakers could put a camera in their pocket and go out and make films. The free one hour compilation will bring together archive films of cinema going , filmmaking and examples of 9.5mm films taken from the EAFA collection.
**Please note, these are rescheduled screenings, previously to take place as part of Heritage Open Days on 15th September but postponed due to the period of mourning for Queen Elizabeth II.
