ONLINE WITH SFFP: “Cinema Slides: The Greatest Images Never Seen”

Before the feature rolled, before the lights went down, there were the slides. Projected glass “lantern” slides were woven into the cinema experience from the very beginning: advertising products, shaping audience behavior, and dazzling crowds with previews of coming attractions.

In this richly illustrated presentation, film preservationist and SFFP President Robert Byrne takes us inside the fascinating and largely overlooked world of cinema slide history: exploring their visual artistry, their role in early film culture, and the archival challenges facing the fragile collections quietly held by museums and institutions around the world.
