How We Screened Twin Peaks on 35 mm

About

Let Dale Cooper talk you through how we bring the 1990 pilot of Twin Peaks all the way from the BFI National Archive to the big screen!

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.
