Here we broaden our horizons a bit to offer content not directly related to our aims and activies but still deplicting the magic of cinema.
After many months another Rewind special has been added. This edition is from Membership Secretary Bob Mandry and features his collection of cinema badges of which he has over 500. It is not just pages of images; the collection is shown as a number of sections each explaining the origin and purpose of the badges.
These specials are versions of our Rewind magazine covering selected subjects produced for online viewing. Click on an image to view/download. It will open in a new window/tab. To return to this page close the window/tab.

PPT member Rob Younger runs the Parkway cinema in Barnsley. It is a twin cinema that retains the facility of running film as well as digital. Here we see a 70mm copy of Tenet running in the projection room.
BBC Radio Leeds visited the PPT at Halifax and spoke with Dion Hanson who has added the video images to the radio audio recording. We are grateful for the coverage given by BBC Radio Leeds.
Édouard Belin (5 March 1876 – 4 March 1963) was a French
photographer and inventor. In 1907 Belin invented a phototelegraphic
apparatus called the Bélinographe (télestéréographe)—a system for receiving photographs over telephone wires via telegraphic networks. Belin's invention had been used for journalistic photos since
1914, and the process was improved by 1921 to enable transmission of
images by radio waves.
This video was derived from a roll of film contained in a can which, together with several others, was passed to the PPT. Having been rolled up for several years the condition of the film made transferring to video a bit of a challenge.
