projectionist

A projectionist is someone who takes care of showing movies or other images on a screen. They might work at a cinema, making sure everything runs smoothly and fixing any technical issues that come up.

You might see this word used when talking about a person who has a specific job in the film industry. Projectionists are actually becoming less common with digital movies becoming more popular, but some independent cinemas or classic movie houses still use old-style projectors to show their films. They're usually responsible for setting up and operating these machines, as well as making sure everything sounds good too - so it's a combination of technical know-how and attention to detail that makes someone a skilled projectionist.
