1920s & 30s 9.5mm home-cinema evening with BFI curator Rosie Rowan Taylor

Kent MOMI is proud to present a unique home-cinema evening with BFI curator Rosie Rowan Taylor, featuring authentic 1920s and ’30s 9.5mm equipment, and a full (mystery!) programme of films as originally projected in this famous amateur format. This was an incredibly important format, which enabled the transposition of the magic of cinema into private homes several generations before the age of video.
