How We Screened Twin Peaks on 35 mm

Overview

How We Screened Twin Peaks on 35 mm is a short British comedy-documentary promotional film produced in collaboration with the British Film Institute (BFI). The short featurette serves as a behind-the-scenes look at the technical process of bringing the original 1990 Twin Peaks pilot episode from the BFI National Archive to 450 cinema-goers at the Film on Film Festival. Narrated by Kyle MacLachlan, the film captures the delicate handling, splicing, and lacing of the episode's six original 35mm celluloid reels into the theater projector.
