Personal Note
I still remember those cherished Sundays in the mid 80s when our family would transform the dining room into our private movie theater. We’d draw the curtains closed and gather around our long mahogany dining room table. My father would carefully set up the EUMIG Super 8 projector, its rhythmic hum filling the room as he threaded the reels with precision. It was a time we all looked forward to—a chance to relive recent celebrations, vacations, and milestones.
The warm, flickering light of the projector danced on the white projector screen, and as the scenes played out, so did the sounds of laughter and heartfelt conversations around the table. It wasn’t just about watching home movies; it was about sharing those moments together, savouring the stories behind every frame, and creating new memories while reliving old ones.
Never did I imagine that decades later, those same reels would be digitised and viewed on a modern computer. Watching them now on my Mac Studio computer feels like stepping into a time machine. The nostalgia is palpable, a mix of fond memories and the awe of seeing them preserved for future generations.
