Not celluloid, but I've made a ton of flicker videos. http://www.dr-yo.com/video_opus_comp.html
http://www.dr-yo.com/video_machina_comp.html Especially cf. "Lullabye (for postmodern children)", "MANTRA", and "TEMENOS". I've found that extended screenings of flicker films/videos leads to audience fatigue. After about 20 minutes, audience members who manage to remain in the theater end up in one of three states: exhausted, numb, or hypnotized. The third state is of course the desired one, but it only occurs in about 5% of the audience. That's my $0.02 based on a considerable amount of anecdotal experience. I'd recommend breaking the screening up, maybe with multiple intermissions.
