November Nitrate Weekend

For the first time last year, we set aside a weekend apart from the Nitrate Picture Show (NPS) to dedicate to the projection of nitrate film.
It was so popular we’ve decided to do it again, mixing films that have previously screened at NPS with titles that have not yet screened, from both the George Eastman Museum and the Library of Congress.
Returning to the Dryden’s screens are A STAR IS BORN (NPS 2015) and Laurence Olivier’s HAMLET (NPS 2018). Across two days in November, experience film as it was meant to be seen, and prepare yourself for the 2027 edition of the Nitrate Picture Show!
