*Hey Jonathan,* *Canyon rents a print with a soundtrack-on-film. *
*Not sure whether the tape begins with the music that on sound prints accompanies the Warning. I've always assumed the sync during the flicker itself is not all that precise between the track and the images. Originally the film was meant to be shown in a space where the sound from the right-hand speaker would be different from the sound on the left; and in the middle you'd hear what you hear on the current soundtrack. So, what we see in the screening is inevitably a compromise with the original intention.* *Hope this helps.* *Scott* *PS Conrad allowed the Warning to be as long as it is so it would be taken seriously.* On Mon, Feb 27, 2017 at 12:21 PM, Jonathan Walley <wall...@denison.edu> wrote: > Hello everyone, > > I’m showing *The Flicker* tomorrow in a seminar, and the print arrived > from Filmmakers’ Coop with sound on CD (no optical track), which surprised > me.
