Back  in the Soviet time, a movie theater was a special place and for Soviet  people watching a movie in a movie theater was a kind of a holiday.  Today, people go there just to waste their time away, eat some popcorn  and drink beer. In the 90s, movie production, just as other spheres of  life, came to a standstill. What’s new about movie theaters now (except  for the fact that today it is just business, marketing, commerce,  franchising, leasing and kickbacking)? It’s the same good old film and  24 frames per second. Yet, they have introduced a few innovations such  as digital movies, 3D-movies and Dolby Digital sound. So, in this post  you will find out what Russian movie theaters have come to. <img src="http://englishrussia.com/images/112012/movietheaterinside/movietheaterinside-9.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Traditionally, they show movie premieres on Thursdays, so on  Wednesdays the plane with a new movie on board lands at the airport of  the city the movie is going to be shown in. The movie theater sends a  courier to pick up the parcel from the storehouse of the airport. Each  bag is for one movie. <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside/movietheaterinside-10.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The bag contains two paper boxes. <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside/movietheaterinside-11.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The boxes contain these round metal things with parts of the movie  inside. The point is that each movie consists of several parts. As a  rule, there are six parts in the movie. <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside/movietheaterinside-12.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Before showing the movie, they stick all its parts together. <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside/movietheaterinside-13.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> This lady has been working as a movie checker for over 40 years and she’s going to show us how they stick the movie parts. <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside/movietheaterinside-14.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> A spool. <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside/movietheaterinside-15.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The movie checker winds the film arond the spool sticking the parts together. <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside/movietheaterinside-16.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> On the film leader of the first part, she writes the name of the movie, its format, the number of parts and the copy number. <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside/movietheaterinside-17.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Winding the first parts of the movie. <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside/movietheaterinside-18.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside/movietheaterinside-19.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Then, she cuts off its final leader. <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside/movietheaterinside-20.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside/movietheaterinside-21.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside/movietheaterinside-22.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> With a movie sticky tape, she sticks the first and the second parts  of the film together, preliminary cutting off the leader of the second  part. <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside/movietheaterinside-23.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside/movietheaterinside-24.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Keep winding. <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside/movietheaterinside-25.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Then, she does the same with part number three, four, etc. <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside/movietheaterinside-26.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> When the film is ready, they write an accompanying note to stick it to the spool. <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside/movietheaterinside-27.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> As for digital movies, including 3D, they arrive in special cases on  HDD disks. They are usually DCP-format (Digital Cinema Package) and  their size varies from 230 Gb to 350 Gb. <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside/movietheaterinside-28.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://englishrussia.com/images/112012/movietheaterinside2/movietheaterinside2-9.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside2/movietheaterinside2-10.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> After that, the movie copy goes to the projection room where  projectionists prepare it for the movie show. The projectionist is the  person who makes sure that the movie show goes smoothly and movie  theater equipment is in order. This person has to be an electrician,  installer, mechanic, etc. Their workday starts at 8 a.m. even though  they begin showing movies at 10. Why? Because they have a lot of work to  do. <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside2/movietheaterinside2-11.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> This movie theater has 9 showing rooms and all of them need to be checked. <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside2/movietheaterinside2-12.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Movie copies. <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside2/movietheaterinside2-13.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> This device is called a platter and it is used to show the movie uninterruptedly. <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside2/movietheaterinside2-14.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The makeup table is used to install the spool on the platter. <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside2/movietheaterinside2-15.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside2/movietheaterinside2-16.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Meanwhile, cleaning ladies are bringing the showing rooms into order  and the administrator and manager are discussing the timetable and other  issues. <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside2/movietheaterinside2-17.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The movie theater is open from 10 a.m. till 2 a.m. so it’s a  shiftwork. That is why it is very importand that all documents are in  order by the end of each shift. <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside2/movietheaterinside2-18.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Manager Rustam doesn’t want to be distracted from work. <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside2/movietheaterinside2-19.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Some time later however, he is showing off his awards and certificates. <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside2/movietheaterinside2-20.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Let’s go back to the digital movies. Forst of all, they have to be downloaded to the video server. <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside2/movietheaterinside2-21.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Rrojector setup work. <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside2/movietheaterinside2-22.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> It’s 9.30 and the movie theater is about to open. <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside2/movietheaterinside2-23.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside2/movietheaterinside2-24.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Also, the manager has to assemble and install carton billboards. <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside2/movietheaterinside2-25.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Suddenly, the projectionist drops the movie copy which is to be shown in just 20 minutes! <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside2/movietheaterinside2-26.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Luckily, they’ve managed to fix it in time. <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside2/movietheaterinside2-27.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside2/movietheaterinside2-28.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside2/movietheaterinside2-29.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> This device allows the projectionist not to rewind the film over and over again after each show. <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside2/movietheaterinside2-30.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside2/movietheaterinside2-31.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside2/movietheaterinside2-32.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The film gets to the projector throught the rollers you see on the walls. <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside2/movietheaterinside2-33.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside2/movietheaterinside2-34.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside2/movietheaterinside2-35.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> They have to watch the film all the time because it may go wrong. <img src="http://media.englishrussia.com/112012/movietheaterinside2/movietheaterinside2-36.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> </blockquote>
