PROJECTION FORMATS
We believe that 35mm film has a warmth and feel that should, whenever possible, be part of the moviegoing experience, like the real butter on our organic popcorn. The Trylon runs 35mm screenings on two Century Model SA projectors and digital screenings on a DCI-compliant NEC model NC-900C. We note the format when a screening is in 35mm or 16mm. We also note the rare times when a film is projected from DVD. All other films are projected from DCP, the industry-standard digital-cinema format.
SENSITIVE CONTENT
Cinema reflects the social and cultural norms of its time. As a repertory theater, we screen films from the history of cinema, some of which include, for example, problematic representations of sexual violence, racial caricatures, and homophobic stereotypes. In other words, our lineup may contain content that is controversial or offensive to today’s audiences. Those who chose to research the content of films before viewing can find information at imdb.com. After searching for the film in question, scroll down to “Parents Guide” which includes information on all kinds of content. Other resources include commonsensemedia.org and doesthedogdie.com. We also encourage audience members to contact us with any questions and concerns. We won’t have all the answers, but are happy to help where we can. Send emails to the address below.
TICKET POLICIES
Advance tickets are available online up to one hour before show time. The Trylon Cinema box office opens 30 minutes before show time, and accepts cash, checks and Trylon discount cards. All advance ticket sales are final, and cannot be cancelled or exchanged, although you can transfer your Trylon Cinema tickets for use by a friend if your plans change.
