I recently finished a documentary on a small second-run movie theater in 
Minnesota in the final hours before it changed ownership and transitioned to 
digital projection.  There are some shots of the old projectors, and 
projectionists working and reminiscing:

In Maplewood, Minnesota, a discount movie theater’s doors are shuttered, as its 
passionate owner, dedicated employees, and a group of movie-goers watch their 
community fade into memory. Change is evident in the light projected through 
celluloid, in the buzzes and clatters of the projection booth, and in a 
farewell screening of the Evil Dead trilogy on 35mm. The owner turns on the 
house lights for the last time, as a neighboring megachurch takes over the 
business to bring the theater into a new era of digital projection.
