Garage will be screening films on 35mm for the first time. We’re going back to the classic nature of cinema and the authentic film experience, which continues to be available only on the big screen and is especially valuable in the age of the mass transition of cinemas, and even films, to online platforms.
The Silver Prints program includes movies shot on film that have not necessarily undergone digital restoration, an essential process that does not cancel out the significance of the analogue medium. The title references silver as one of the main components of film, which turns it into a precious material that does not just provide cinema with a special aura in accordance with the saying “the medium is the message,” but also implicitly affects its meaning.
