Hawaii Theatre Projection Booth

The Hawaii Theatre Center, a.k.a. The Pride of the Pacific, is an old movie palace in downtown Honolulu, now converted into a performance venue. My old masters at the Hawaii International Film Festival help maintain the 35mm projectors for occasional screenings.

I took this image during the presentation of the Indian classic Mughal-e-Azam, directed by K. Asif (کریم الدین اصف). Just one of the movie's 18 reels was shot on Eastman Kodak color film stock; to see it on the big screen was an amazing moment.
