[KineJapan] Mini-theaters - Tsukamoto

[Markus Nornes]

I finally took a look at these. Great idea. Not sure about the execution.

But what really struck me were the projection booths. One of my great joys
is exploring the caves of projectionists. What struck me about these,
however, is that the generations of projectionists really haven't left
their marks. Every other booth I've been in has strange detritus and
graffiti standing in for the ghostly figures that ran the films up in the
heavens. Cluttered, sure—especially Eurospace, which was spectacular. But
not cave-like.
