Shosanna near a film projector.
- “Can you operate the projectors?”
- ―Hans Landa
A movie projector is an opto-mechanical device for displaying motion picture film by projecting it onto a screen. Most of the optical and mechanical elements, except for the illumination and sound devices, are present in movie cameras. The movie projectors project the film onto a screen, while the lights in the auditorium (projection room) are turned off.
In Inglourious Basterds[]
The Le Gamaar cinema has at least two functional movie projectors. Marcel knows how to operate them and he taught Shosanna how to do it. During the Stolz der Nation premiere, we see Shosanna talking with Marcel about them and the former is seen operating said projectors.
Trivia[]
- In the projection booth, projectors are show with visible running film reels, which would have been totally unthinkable at that time. All projectors were equipped with fire proof boxes in which the reels would run. These boxes had only small windows for the projectionist to check for the amount of run off or taken up film. If the film started burning, only the few inches actually running through the mechanics would be affected, not the major portions in the fire proof boxes.
