Egyptian theater in Los Angeles showing nitrate print films (1 Viewer)

[Nelson Au]

i just heard the story on NPR radio this morning about several nitrate print films screening at the Egyptian theater in Los Angeles.

I'd never seen a nitrate print film and the story describes how amazing an experience it is to see Casablanca and especially Black Narcissus. I've seen Casablanca only on TV on the various home video formats. I've never seen Black Narcissus before. If you're in Los Angeles, sounds like a good thing to check out.
