 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 Kino 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, Denmark, France, Germany, Holland,
Poland, United Kingdom and the United States. The event is organized in
collaboration with town Krnov, supported by the Ministry of Culture of
the Czech Republic.
"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".
The
70mm cinema Mír 70 in Krnov is one of very few cinemas in the four
Visegrad 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 (also with full
digitali projection). One of the main task of the festival is to recall
the 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.
See you in Krnov on 17. - 19. April 2015

Welcoming
The "Kino Mir 70" was
built around 1920 and is one of the few few cinemas left in The
Czech Republic with 70mm projection equipment. The building is
owned by the local county and they rent it to the city. It is
now managed, with great enthusiasm, by Mr. Pavel Tomešek. From
the outside, two sets of doors lead into the cinema and its
magnificent and spacious foyer.

Opening
They are doing a
marvellous job at the Kino Mir 70 keeping the best movie
experience alive by waving the 70mm flag with. On the second
floor, the staircase splits, leading up to the two entrances
into the cinema. I enter from the rear of the cinema, and
behold: a very nicely sloped cinema. Walls, carpets, seats and
curtains are green.
