-'''Project description'''
+'''Directory of Analog Film Exhibitors: Project Description'''
-The list includes exhibitors who show a mix of film and digital and exhibitors who only occasionally show film, as well as exhibitors who show [[16mm]] or other small gauge film but not [[35mm]]. The list attempts to only include exhibitors who have at least screened film in the past year, and excludes venues that have underused or decommissioned equipment. It is continually being updated. We hope to someday build a freestanding website for this project, but for now Sprocket School is its home.
+The directory includes exhibitors who show a mix of film and digital and exhibitors who only occasionally show film, as well as exhibitors who show [[16mm]] or other small gauge film but not [[35mm]]. The directory attempts to only include exhibitors who have at least screened film in the past year, and excludes venues that have almost-never used or decommissioned equipment. It is continually being updated.
-'''How to use this list '''
-* Peruse by state or country!
-* The list is [http://www.sprocketschool.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_analog_film_exhibitors&action=history revised] whenever new information is available. We welcome suggestions. Get in touch if you have a suggestion, correction, or update: info@sprocketschool.org
-* We include 70mm venues but if you would like to see 70mm capable venues only go here: [[List of 70mm film exhibitors]]
-* '''Remember, this list is continually being updated and things change fast in filmland. Proceed with caution when using for any kind of data collection.'''
+This is the public version of the directory, but our research on most of these exhibitors is more detailed than what is available here. We hope to someday build a freestanding website for this project, but for now Sprocket School is its home.
-'''How this list was compiled'''
+* By popular demand, we maintain a separate [[List of 70mm film exhibitors]]; you may also be interested in [https://www.in70mm.com/ in70mm.com]
-This list was compiled from many sources: news articles, theater websites, film listings, and social media, as well as correspondence with filmgoers and projectionists, technicians, programmers, and others employed by exhibitors. Many thanks to everyone who’s written in with contributions.
+* The directory is constantly revised as new information becomes available ([http://www.sprocketschool.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_analog_film_exhibitors&action=history see revision history]), but things change fast in filmland so some information may be out of date. We welcome suggestions.
