acetate print. The transfer was done after we had completed over 50 showings. With proper handling and care, film prints can remain viable even under the varying circumstances of a Roadshow. My wife, Deborah, came for the Atlanta show; and that is where we met our now long- time friend, Christopher Reyna, who had done the shows at the Pacific Film Archive and at the Telluride Film Festival. After the success at Radio City, Chris was contracted to produce a 70 mm version of the triptych for use in smaller venues and locations were the three projector system was not appropriate. Chris came with the print to see how it played and supervise its set up. The intent was that following Atlanta, we would become co-technical directors for the Roadshow. We were both concerned that we would become competitors as technical directors, so decided between us to divide the world by the Mississippi River. He went on to do the shows at the Shrine Auditorium in LA, the Opera House in San Francisco and the Saenger Theatre in New Orleans and several overseas presentations. The most recent show he did was the 2012 performances at the Oakland Paramount in Oakland, CA, which was staged by BL&S. After our adventures in the early eighties, Chris went on to become a large format film VFX, restoration and mastering producer and was the imaging producer on Samsara, credited as being one of the most breathtaking non- verbal films of the genre. Our company has gone on to do performances in Rome, outdoors outside the Colosseum (twice), Havana, Wolftrap and the Kennedy Center in Washington DC. And, because of the vision of Francis, Tom Luddy, Robert Harris with a tip of the hat to Bill and Stella Pence, founding directors of the Telluride Film Festival, Boston Light & Sound has become preeminent on staging large screen events of both old and current films around the world. But, for Napoleon, now it is 2016, 35 years after the Radio City 32
Music Hall premiere. And, like Star Wars, the saga continues. It has already been revealed that Napoleon will return to conquer the US and other international locations with Georges’ Maurier’s total, accurate reconstruction of the Apollo version of Napoleon, with a reorchestrated score originated by the late Carmine Coppola. That will be 2017, 90 years after its opening in Paris I hope to see you there!! © Copyright 2015 C. Chapin Cutler, Jr. Please Support the Arts Dear Friends, The Thomas Edison Media Arts Consortium is unique, and we need your help. The Black Maria Film Festival provides a venue for those filmmakers who don’t have the luxury of commercially funded budgets. Our festival is not a place where producers seek distribution deals. We, and the filmmakers who submit work to us, are all about the moving image as art. The content is diverse: unsung heroes, issues of the environment, that which is visually abstract and cutting edge, and of course entertainment abound in our collection. We would deeply appreciate your consideration in helping us achieve our mission. Donations can be made by either: 1. Securely using PayPal via our website at http://www.blackmariafilmfestival.org/donate.php 2. Sending a check made out to The Thomas Edison Media Arts Consortium. Our address is: The Thomas Edison Media Arts Consortium c/o Media Arts Department, Fries Hall NJ City University 2039 Kennedy Blvd Jersey City, NJ 07305 Thank you again. 33
