16 mm. projector

I tried to post this earlier, but it didn't apparently post:

I have a documentary that I'd like to watch, but don't have a 16mm. film projector. Do you have one? Do you know anyone who has one that wouldn't mind me coming over their place to use?

Coincidentally, I just bought a super-8 projector a couple of weeks ago.

Check with your local library. I saw a Hitchcock movie they were showing on a 16mm projector at the North End library a couple of years ago. So the BPL system has them. They may have a system where you can use one in-house.

Don't you work in an archive library? Of all the a/v places in the world, your library, or another one in the system, should have one.

Don't I know it! But, I've asked around and we don't have one.

I'm going to try tommy's suggestion-- see what they can do for me.

What about at the Carpenter Center? They're all about visual arts...and film.
