It is with great pleasure that Biffen, can present the remastered
version of Louis de Rochemont's CineMiracle
Adventure "Windjammer" for 4 days in July 2010.
In connection with the Tall Ship Race festival in our harbour (next to the
Biffen), we are pleased to welcome "Windjammer" back to Aalborg,
where it originally opened in 1959.
"Windjammer" is a travelogue about the Norwegian school ship
"Christian Radich". Filmed in Cinemiracle and produced by legendary
Louis de Rochemont.
"Windjammer" was a colossal success when it was released, and it
was seen by millions of people all over the world. Many of them still
remember the film vividly.
"Windjammer" was photographed in the unique process called
Cinemiracle, a "first-person-experience", which, combined with 7-channel
Hi-Fi stereo sound, gave the spectator a very realistic sensation of
being "in the movie".

The Cinemiracle process was a unique photographic technique for filming
a 146 degree wide image on three separate film strips (panels). In the
cinema, the three panels were projected side-by-side by three
synchronized projectors on the huge curved screen to form a perfect wide
vista.
This edition of “Windjammer” is a digital version, where all
three panels are shown from one projector on Biffen's curved screen
We are also welcoming Carin-Anne and David Strohmaier to Aalborg, who will
be with us giving the introduction to the film "How Windjammer Got a
Facelift".
Thanks to Pacific Theatres and John Sittig

David And Carin Anne Strohmaier host a special presentation on how
"Windjammer" was digitally remastered with elements from the Swedish
Film Institute. This will be a behind the scenes look at the detailed
processes that were involved in cleaning up the images and adding color
back into the film. Many before and after examples will be shown along
with a little history of the Christian Radich itself.
