Electric Palace - Subtitled films - Part II

Well that did not go as well as I hoped!

It looks like you cannot get hold of subtitled prints for feature films. Subtitles in the cinema are either done using a (now discontinued) Dolby system called ScreenTalk, or are done using a digital projector.

Since we don't have the money to buy a ScreenTalk system, and we are planning to get a digital projector in the next 12-18 months - my idea has been declared "non-starter".

We will have to see what we can do later on I guess.

Electric Palace - Subtitled films

Well, I dropped myself in it again!

Mentioned to "the management" that we should consider doing a subtitled film evening/club sort of thing. They thought it was a good idea and left me with the job of researching it all!

So I now have to find out how to get subtitled prints, trailers, adverts etc.

Should be fun actually - once I get the contacts I need and can start phoning/emailing.

Watch this space!!
