Cine Nic Model ALU-HALO from the Year 2003

The Barcelona production company Cromosoma (which has owned the industrial and commercial rights of the Cine Nic patent for years), with the advice and the encouragement of the Museu del Cinema-Col·lecció Tomàs Mallol, is presenting a new model of the Cine Nic projector. And although it upholds the operating principles and unmistakable concept of the original device entirely, this projector improves and updates the product in every sense in order to offer it to today's public.This reproduction of the Cine Nic was designed by Santi Giró of A&D studio. He received an award in the 23rd annual International Design contest of “Expohogar”, 2003.

 
Following the line of constant renovation handed down by the founders of the company, the new model is based now on an extruded tube of mechanised aluminium, and it has two ventilated halogen light bulbs. The mechanisms have been optimised and the optics perfected, in order to achieve a wide focal distance. It is also the sturdiest, most reliable, and safest model manufactured by Cine Nic to date: the lightest, largest projection, a machine that doesn't heat up, a handle and engaging gear lever that work precisely, not to mention that the device also has, separate from the machine, a 12-V transformer that guarantees safety during use. Although it is a new design, the product calls to mind the air and the style of the legendary Cine Nic family.
 

The band format chosen for the new model is the Super, the widest one. Therefore, all of the old Super Nic films can be seen with this device. Also, Cromosoma, in collaboration with the Museum of Cinema-Tomàs Mallol Collection, is bringing out a selection of old films, as well as new titles, various films to finish drawing and painting, and other blank ones to stimulate the users' creativity. At the same time, it is publishing an author's series (Nic Art) open to previously unpublished contributions by various artists who, through making original films with the Nic system, will help to spread this type of filmmaking, and to awaken the interest of adult audiences in this new mode of plastic expression.
