A relic from the Roaring Twenties, this Hahn-Goerz 35mm projector head helped bring cinema to life. Paired with supply and take-up reels, the mechanics guided the film through the system, while the lamphouse illuminated the moving images on the big screen. The shutter ensured a steady, flicker-free display. More than just a machine, it’s a bold reminder of how far projection technology has come in the last 100 years.
