pictures from an old projection booth with two victoria iv-e projectors
& zenith carbon arcs installed in 1951, in original condition as far as
we know & still working. the theatre, located in northern finland near
the arctic circle, was shut down somewhere in the early nineties but was
repaired & resurrected for three days last november for a weekend horror
film festival.
