A 35mm film revival is underway, powered by passionate projectionists like 25-year-old Patrick Welsh, the youngest at Bristol’s Watershed. In a digital age, he’s mastering the tactile art of handling physical reels, learning from veteran projectionist Ewan Dunford. Audiences are rediscovering the magic of analog cinema — a live, hands-on experience that feels intimate and cinematic. With Watershed now the city’s sole regular 35mm cinema, Welsh’s dedication is preserving a vital piece of film history, even if he jokes it’s a “silly job.”
