The Projection Project seeks to illustrate a pivotal moment of time in the history of motion picture exhibition. Through fine art photography, video documentary and articles, Silmara and Curtis depict the changing world of cinemas in British Columbia. They speak to and photograph the people that work in – and care about – movie theatres throughout the province during an era that sees traditional 35mm film projection giving way to digital technology. While not aiming to be comprehensive, the Project does aim to explore and question the dynamics of public entertainment in these fast-changing times. In 2017 they release their first feature documentary, Out of the Interior: Survival of the Small Cinemas in British Columbia.
