2022| DCP | AUS | D: Rob Murphy
  
Splice Here: A Projected Odyssey is a love letter to film told through the eyes of documentarian and projectionist, Rob Murphy.

A decade ago, when film projectors were being ripped out of cinemas and replaced by digital counterparts, it was clear that film was facing its death knell. Like many others Rob felt digital was a poor substitute so he picked up a camera and began recording what he thought was the end of an era.

The resulting 10-year adventure has now crossed three continents and explored every facet of film preservation through the secret world of the projectionist underground.

We discover how the digital revolution has not just changed the way we see movies but is becoming a very real threat to how we will remember them.

‘Splice Here is essential viewing for film geeks … Murphy is an engaging guide [who] has fashioned a generous and well-researched cinematic essay’ - TheFilmStage.com

Please note: this extended 'Director's Cut' of Splice Here will screen with an intermission.

This screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Rob Murphy.
