1. Cinema (WCC 161)
a. booking
The Events in the Weitz Cinema are included in the Carleton events calendar. The cinema can be reserved by contacting Steve Richardson, Director of the Arts (srichard@carleton.edu; -ext.4389).
b. lights
Just inside the main entrance, on the right side of the door frame as one walks into the space, there's a small recessed panel with a green LED. The buttons on this panel control a number of lighting settings for the room. The bottom right button is "cinema night" (dark, but with aisle lights for safety). The others turn on various lighting cues: mainly, spotlight in front of the stage, lights over the wide aisle on the floor, fluorescent work lights.
c. playing a movie
In the projection booth, tap the LCD panel once. It will turn on and read, "Welcome to the Weitz. Please press what you want to do." From the column of buttons along the right side of the screen select, for example, "DVD." Insert a DVD or Blu-ray disc into the player and press play. Best practice: The only sure way to head off tech trouble lurking in a given copy of a film, is to watch it in its entirety on the system it's going to play on, with lead time enough to secure another if problems are found.
