At Tower Cinemas, we keep 35mm film alive. In a world of digital projection and shrinking formats, celluloid is becoming rare, and we think that matters.
We hunt down original 35mm prints, often unseen for years, and put them back where they belong: on the big screen. This is cinema with depth, texture, and impact. The way it was meant to be experienced.
WHY 35MM?
Digital runs at 2K or 4K. 35mm? Closer to 8K.
That means sharper detail, richer contrast, and deeper, more natural colour. Film simply looks and feels different—more alive.
And it’s not just the format—it’s the craft.
Every session is run by a real projectionist, presenting the film with care and precision.
Sure, digital is consistent. Film isn’t—and that’s the point.
Every print carries a history. Slight imperfections, subtle wear—that’s character. That’s warmth. That’s cinema.
Three film students travel to Maryland to make a student film about a local urban legend... The Blair Witch. The three went into the woods on a two day hike to find the Blair Witch, and never came back. One year later, the students film and video were found in the woods. The footage was compiled and made into a movie. The Blair Witch Project.
