Junked is a short film about the end of film. With the advent of digital, the art of projection is being lost and the 35mm film prints are getting junked. Australian filmmaker Gus Berger recorded the last days of 35mm projection at St. Kilda?s George Revival Cinema. It’s a poignant tale of a technologically disruptive world.
