The administration is currently reviewing our concerns about the shift to digital formats in the James Bridges Theater. Call the film archive office today to demand that they preserve the technical capacity for 35mm and nitrate prints. Check the petition comments to see how many fellow students agree that film education requires the real thing.

Reaching this milestone proves that the community is not willing to let our film culture fade away. Post this link on your Facebook and text three friends who care about cinema to keep this momentum moving forward. Call your department representative today and tell them that digital projection is no replacement for 35mm prints.

DVDs? really? for a film school? that is so embarrassing. keep the film alive!
dont let them turn everything into a glorified home theater setup. 35mm has a soul.
I have been coming to these screenings since I was a freshman. It would be a huge loss for all of us.
digital will never look the same. please keep the 35mm projector running. nothing compares to the grain and the flickering light.
It is about the craft. If you are learning film you need to see it on film. PERIOD.

UCLA needs to respect the history of cinema. Stop being cheap and show the actual prints.
