It would actually be very easy to modify a 16mm projector to be hand-cranked. The "inching knob" found on many projectors (e.g the ubiquitous Bell & Howells) would be the obvious place to attach your drive mechanism. Reverse it and the projector can drive other devices. Kim Miskowicz' recent film "Saving the Next to Last" is a super-8 hand-cranked film (which also draws lamp power from a hand-crankâi.e. it's a post-apocalypse Gilligan's Island projector which does not plus into the wall). Sorry I don't have more info on this but here is her website: http://kimmiskowicz.com/news.html

To: frameworks@jonasmekasfilms.com Date: Wednesday, June 13, 2012, 10:22 AM Hello! I'm working on an installation project, and wondering if there's such a thing as a basic hand-cranking 16mm projector, available for sale, or as something I could strip down from an existing projector. I'm mostly interested in the frame-advance mechanism - I don't need it to have any kind of bulb or motor. Any information / leads / ideas would be very much appreciated!
