Indiana Jones "Raiders of the Lost Ark" on 16mm film screened with Elmo 16CL projector in Indonesia

Описание: I live in Indonesia and am a Super 8mm and 16mm collector. It is quite rare to find Hollywood blockbusters in 16mm here. Most of the 16mm films circulating here are local or Indian films which used to be screened in the open-air cinema (or here we call it "Layar Tancap"). Sometimes we also have Chinese Kung Fu, but not too many. There are a few occasions during the heyday of "Layar Tancap", Hollywood blockbusters were also screened, but they were printed locally due to the need for Indonesian subtitles, otherwise no one will watch them. I recall there is at least First Blood (Rambo 1) and Rush Hour were available. They were printed using a 35mm positive intermediate (which was already subtitled) to make a 16mm print. As a result, the image quality is not that good.

However, it is quite surprising that just a few days ago I received this print from a local collector, "Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark" and even more surprising, it is without subtitles. It is therefore certainly an import. I don't know how this film ended up here in Indonesia. From the screenshot, you can see that the color still looks good, right.

Sorry for the noise from the projector but my Elmo 16CL has the problem of reading the optical track which causes very low sound to come up to the internal speaker.
