Only on a 15/70mm print here — the digital projector caps at 1.90, so the same film shows smaller on a digital night.

Two systems, one booth
The 2021 listing records xenon and a newer source records film. Both are true: this is a dual booth, running a print on some nights and digital on others. Neither source is wrong and neither supersedes the other.
The projector here rests on a single source. It is the weakest field we hold across the network.
