Old New York Told Through Antique 16mm Projector Short Films

Nearly 100 years before words like Netflix and 4K TV entered the English lexicon, the talk of the town was all about 16mm technology. Step back in time as we learn how the 16mm projector facilitated a film revolution, with never-before-seen reels of New York City along the way.

Join New York Adventure Club as we explore the history of early videography and the 16mm projector with The Museum of Interesting Things, a traveling interactive exhibition of antiques and inventions inspiring innovation and creativity.

Led by Denny Daniel, Founder of The Museum of Interesting Things, our virtual experience featuring many vintage 16mm films of New York City and the surrounding area will include:

  • An overview of the 16mm technology and how it facilitated a film revolution
  • rare virtual viewing of original vintage short films of old New York from an antique 16mm projector, including the New York City subway, Coney Island, and the 1939-1940 NY World’s Fair
  • A digital showcase of antique museum items made in the New York area

Afterward, we’ll have a Q&A with Denny — any and all questions about 16mm are welcomed and encouraged!
