 Restoration of "Play Time"
By Jean-René FAILLIOT
I saw about forty 70mm boxes come in; among those are
about twenty boxes of 300m. size, quite rusty, but
identified as being the original film. I expected the
worst.

 Mike
Todd, Jr. Interview
By Roy Frumkes
“This Is Cinerama” opened to rave reviews.
All of Dad's ideas had worked - the name of the film was his, the roadshow concept was his. No one had believed his predictions about Cinerama; now everyone was listening. |

 How not to project
"2001" in 70mm
By Frank Angel
I go back to see if I could find someone, anyone who could address this
problem. I am told by the kid sitting outside the projection booth door that
THERE IS NO PROJECTIONIST. "The projectionist," he explains to me,
"comes in only on Fridays." How wonderful for us. |
A Report from Oslo
By Sheldon Hall
The festival is programmed by Jan Eberholst Olsen, who explains its origins: ‘The idea came about when I was working in the Archive. I found they had lots of 70mm titles that were rarely if ever screened. I had approached the Cinemateket
programmer for years to screen them, but I was told they
were faded, overlong and there was no audience for them. |

 The
D-150 Curvulon Lens
By Richard Vetter
The D-150 Super Curvulon lens attachment was a basic design that I
conceived and submitted to Kollmorgen Corp. in 1964 and that
company was commissioned by D-150 to perform the final

 Introduction to Sensurround
The Sensurround Model II system developed by MCA Universal brings a new dimension to the motion picture theatre. It is designed to generate special audible and sub audible effects not yet possible to reproduce on presently available systems.
|
 About Sensurround
Universal Studios felt for many years that in order to attract large audiences into the theatres to see feature films, the viewing audience would have to be offered some sort of "event" that would not be accessible to them on the home television screen. |
 Sensurround Horror Stories
From film-tech.com
When The Branmar Theater in Wilmington, DE, which had shown all the Sensurround films closed in the late 80's, you could still see the cracks in the ceiling from the process! |
 "Treasure Seekers"
By Michael Donahue
It's a very low budget independent feature, a screwball comedy, a love
story about greed and lust |
