Derek George Barker was born in 1930 and creatively grew up on box brownies, German cameras during his national service and onto cine cameras. This passion never faded and after many years as a plumber the calling was too great and a career change to cinema projectionist was on the cards at the age of 40. This passion continues into his retirement with a collection of 8mm, 16mm and 35mm projectors and films, which form part of his ever growing personal collection.

Q: In how many years from now will the knowledge of film and projects be a lost memory?
