 Under patronage of the Municipal centre of information and culture Krnov,
together with Ministry of Culture, under the patronage of town major of
Krnov, the Mir 70 theatre will again be the meeting point for film
enthusiasts from not only the Czech Republic but also visitors from many
European counties, including Austria, Holland, France, Poland and Germany.
The event is organized in collaboration with town Krnov, supported by the
Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic. The event also cooperates with
Polska Federacja dyskusyjnych klubów filmowych.
"The name of the festival - KRRR! – which is a part of the festival logo
originated in Filmochod agency which is responsible for unified visual
presentation of our event. It has several meanings: KRRR! can be seen as an
interjection - a group of consonants which evokes the sound of the projector
machine, or from point of view of phonetic terms a combination of voiceless
and consonant sounds ( velar and dental) forming (almost unpronounceable for
foreigners) beginning of the city name - Krnov. This original idea which
approval aroused strong reactions is hoped to attract new visitors as well
as fulfil expectations and standard of those faithful patrons from past
years " (Taken from a official press release).
The 70mm cinema Mír 70 in Krnov is currently only one in the Visegrad Four
countries (Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland and Hungary), which is able to
screen 70mm film of the original, six-track magnetic stereo sound to 105
square meters of slightly curved screen (nowdays fully digitalized). One of
the main task of the festival is to recall now unused film format which
dazzled visitors in its time by brilliant display of details in picture and
and insurmountable sound to nowadays public – DESPITE ALL THE DRAWBACKS THAT
OLD AND WORN-OUT COPIES OF 70mm FILMS BRING.

As in previous years we have selected some titles for this year festival
that will have their cinema premier in the Czech Republic. The first is
historical action drama "Ice Station Zebra" (1965), the second is
historical epic "How the West Was Won“ (1962) and last but not least
„Krakatoa, East of Java“ (1969). These films represent our homage to
the greatest, literally and virtually, film format of all time – CINERAMA.
Even though in limited sense, we are very excited to join this anniversary
and celebrate it in big style. Speaking of anniversary, our next slot in
programme could not be filled by anything else but with first west German
70mm made in 1962 – „Flying Clipper - Traumreise unter weissen Segeln“.
50 years passed from its initial release and huge popularity among 60’s
audiences are fair enough reasons to bring it back on silver screen! We
celebrate a little bit sombre jubilee in showing an all-time smash hit
„Titanic“. Together with 3-D digital Jack and Rose we will remember
those who did not survive 100 years ago. Rumors have it that quartet will be
playing during the intermission and for those leaving the cinema last…Our
very last salute is to evergreen rock band with long tongue. We will be
spending early saturday morning with Rolling Stones and Hal Ashby in theirs
„Rolling Stones: Let´s Spend the Night Together“ (1982) in order to
celebrate 50th anniversary of this rock band.
