The American Cinematheque, which also runs the Egyptian in Hollywood, renovated this boutique theatre and installed 70mm projection — Pictured are the Cinematheque's Gwen Deglise (left) and FSTD's Michael Coate (right)

70mm rewinding...well, imagine the blur of the reels at high speed

These beautiful reels of 70mm film are usually taken care of by chief projectionist, Paul Rayton — Rayton has been a projectionist for the Cinematheque for years, and he puts on the best shows in the business, regardless of format — He's deserving of applause because he's one of the few projectionists around who takes care of how a movie will look and sound in the theatre

The Aero's auditorium holds approximately 400-seats
