Hello, and welcome!

Welcome to the Changeover Assembly website! 

This collective was founded to serve cinema enthusiasts and technicians alike. This site is intended to be educational, relevant, and historic. To fully understand the current importance of cinema, we must reflect on the past. We can do this by studying how films were made and shown, and relate that to the presentation of films today. Just as we see history in buildings and museums, history lives in the films made in the present. 

The overall experience of filmgoing would be incomplete without the people in the booth who are unseen and mostly unrecognized. We believe the projection of film for an audience is the synthesis of hard work, craft, and history. This practice must be remembered and appreciated. The light shining from behind the port of glass is a call for hope, projected from the past and onto the future.

Check out our About page to read our statement and find links to our social media.

Lastly, click here to share your favorite cinema experiences to our Movie Theater Memories forum. Your stories will help preserve the ritual of film-going for years to come. 

Thank you for reading! We hope you enjoy the site and any forthcoming events. This site will be continually updated as more resources make themselves available and as technology progresses. Please email us at changeoverassembly@gmail.com if you have suggestions, comments, or general feedback.
