We are projecting our 35mm prints in 1.66 as most of the film was shot using 16mm cameras and it was printed onto 35mm with an open-matte allowing us to be able to not crop as much. We also, however, screened a print in 1.85 which didn't look 'bad' but ultimately decided 1.66 looked much better.

We are not playing a DCP at my location but I've heard that it also has a 'square' ratio so when you play it in 1.85 it is actually pillar-boxed so the aspect is correct on screen.

For what it's worth, I hope you have a good run with this film [Smile]

Confirmed, the DCP version is 1.66:1 inside a 1.85:1 frame (pillar-boxed).

The version we screened recently was stereo, left and right only.
