By Larry Blake
As of June 1985, over 600 films have been mixed in Dolby Stereo, averaging approximately 120 releases per year during the past two years. Along the same lines, the use of Dolby 70mm prints by major Hollywood studios has been steadily increasing over the past few years.

By Tyler Purcell
It was clearly made with the heart's of many others like myself, who strive to keep shooting film and keep it alive for future generations. The shooting crew, team over at Panavision, the great finishing guys at FotoKem and DGA projectionist, all did an amazing job making this film. Everything came together flawlessly, Quentin's vision was a complete and utter success. |  Mesdames et messieurs, voici le Cinerama!
By Anders M Olsson
A few years ago, when the first Cinerama travelogs came out on DVDs and Blu-rays, the last thing on people's minds would have been localized versions. So with great surprise I found out that "This is Cinerama" and "Windjammer" have both been released on Blu-ray and DVD in France with French subtitles this past summer. |  The Hateful Eight may be the start of a welcome back, or not!
By Paulo Roberto P. Elias
Tarantino said in his own words that inside modern multiplex theaters he feels that he is in front of a large TV set. He felt, that we need to bring back the best method to capture images on film, and that obviously is by photographing in 65 mm negatives AND projecting the result in a very large screen. |  Cinema Technology Magazine's 7Omm Issue

By Clemens Scherer
At the Schauburg cinema in Karlsruhe the decision was made to have new sound heads manufactured, not the usual ones, but with an updated position of the pickups to reflect the average shrinkage of the prints. Running over these sound heads, all the tracks are oscillating more symmetrically to their pickups. One could consider in addition to have new guidance rollers manufactured, optimized for the now smaller prints. |  Teccon Precision Magnetic Recording Heads

Looking through a collection of old dust covered boxes I've found some older "What's On"- Issues from my trips to London in 1969 and 1971/72. My first trip to London was in August 1969. Of course my main reason was not at all sightseeing but visiting record shops to buy soundtrack albums and going to the movies, especially those running 70mm films. I didn't care much about “Swinging London”- which I regret today… |

By Michael Fatali
I have been a hunter of light in the American landscape for nearly thirty-years now. I have been very lucky to acquire several 65mm cameras. My experiences of capturing images with 65mm has really just begun. Seven years it took for me to build the cameras, cranes, dollies, MOCO systems and even a Cinebulle to move the cameras into some amazing remote and rugged wildernesses. |  UP, DOWN, UP, DOWN
By Bob Whearley
A crew from Panavision Inc. mounted $25.000 worth of camera gear on a Cyclone Racer car at the Nu-Pike last week. They were shooting some spectacular action footage to show to potential buyers of the 65-mm. wide-screen process. The cameramen, headed by John R. Moore, executive vice president of Panavision, then climbed aboard the cars and spent an entire afternoon hanging on for dear life. |  Is there still a Future for 65mm Filming and Original 70mm prints?

So we will be able to watch these for a long time without any scratches ! Not only in the United States, but also in Europe there is still a lot of interest in 70mm film. |  High impact immersive widescreen filmmaking with Douglas Trumbull
Interviewed by Tony Earnshaw
I have discovered that if you embrace digital technology from a new perspective and you say, ‘Let’s just get rid of all the historical artefacts and beliefs of what an image is or what it should look like and start over and do it all digitally and take advantage of high resolution cameras that are available and that very people use, the high resolutions projectors that are available that very people use and take advantage of the fact that the digital projectors that are in tens of thousands of movie theatres can run at 144fps and no one’s using it. |  Wide Screen Weekend 2015
By Mark Lyndon

By Thomas Hauerslev
We went to see "Seven Wonders of the World" in 1957, It was an interesting and very unique movie experience, because because seeing that in the widescreen format was kind of mind boggling. That is probably why Cinerama lasted so long, because it was so different. Not only did it create a wide screen in the cinema, but it was different on its own right, and people felt they were moving with the theatre. |  2015 Widescreen Weekend Introduction
By Wolfram Hannemann
To get the look he wanted for the film, director Norman Jewison told Director of Photography Oswald Morris, to shoot the film in an earthy tone. Morris saw a woman wearing brown nylon hosiery, thought "That's the tone we want," asked the woman for the stockings on the spot, and shot the entire film with a stocking over the lens. Morris did shoot the film in anamorphic Panavison on 35mm film stock and it was blown up to 70mm for roadshow engagements. |  Interview with producer Randy Gitsch
By Thomas hauerslev
Cinerama has not played here in years. Many, many years, and you can now get a clue as to the excitement of the live experience, seeing it in a real theatre on a big screen, and enjoy that experience. It is very theatrical. There is a lot of Showmanship in Cinerama and this is a chance to go back to a theatre and learn about what that was like. |  The music of BENJAMIN FRANKEL
By Udo Heimansberg
The music for BATTLE OF THE BULGE was his only score recorded in full stereophonic sound- and also his last one! In 1967 Warner records published a soundtrack album featuring the original recordings, but only about 40 minutes of music, including the infamous “Tank Men's Song”. The LP quickly disappeared, became a collector's item sold at high prices. There was a Japanese Vinyl re-issue in the 80s and a CD in the 90s, also from Japan. Beside a long playing record of “THE NIGHT OF THE IGUANA” no other works by Benjamin Frankel were available- until 1998! |  The Passing of Brian Guckian, Ireland
By Mark Lyndon
Over the years, our friendship grew, extending to my wife Margaret. We were looking forward to our reunion with Brian and were deeply shocked and saddened by the tragic news from Dublin. Brian achieved much in his tragically short life. He was a passionate advocate for film, at a time when film exhibition was becoming increasingly rare, less valued and appreciated. A co founder of the 70mm workshop, his scholarship and research made a considerable contribution to our knowledge of the subject. |   Ken Annakin. Director in Todd-AO and Ultra Panavision 70
Von Thomas Hauerslev
Doch was die Entscheidung angeht, die „Fliegenden Kisten“ in Todd-AO zu drehen, so war dies einfach die logische Wahl. Es war damals das größte Filmformat und ich wusste, dass ich die Leinwand mit vielen Menschen und Flugzeugen füllen wollte. Wirklich beeindruckend sind nun diese winzigen Flugzeuge in einem riesigen leeren Himmel, und das erreicht man nur mit 70mm. |  "Push the button Max!"

Welcome to the 11th Todd-AO 70mm film festival. With our intros we want to give our projection team enough time to perfectly lace up those big, wide rolls of film in our DP70. Beware! It will be one of the most colourful festivals we had in recent years. That means that we won’t be just treated to red or magenta, but to real colours – thanks to two brand new 70mm prints, two Orwo prints and two post 1982 prints.

By Edward Oines
I first saw '2OO1' as a not quite 14 year old in January 1969. It was being shown at the smallest theater in Sioux Falls, SD, and was leaving in 2 days, and I had to convince my mother to let my then 18 year old brother to take me on a school night. My memories were mainly of being struck by how realistic everything looked, when compared to Star Trek. I was hooked |  Brand new DP75 70MM Projector for sale

By Eric White
George Florence, the cinema's long-time proprietor, has a deep passion for film in general and 70mm presentation in particular. He considers film to be superior as a medium to anything similar, particularly in the area of sound reproduction. Magnetic analogue recording and reproduction gives superior results to digital processes. Many digital remixes are inferior and George fears that unique original four and six track mixes for classic films may be lost. |  Douglas Trumbull's "Silent Running" screens in Bradford

By Manfred Romboy
Jürgen A. Brückner, born in 1941, virtually inherited the passion for films. In 1938 his father, Rudolf Brückner, a factory owner in Coburg, bought a Siemens film camera. His father bought the camera so that he could film both of his sons at the time. It was no surprise that the crafty Jürgen managed to get his father´s camera´s up and running when he was a child. This meant that much of his fathers stock of undeveloped film got drastically reduced!

As I already owned the musical scores of several Cinerama films I thought, "most likely a simple compilation of the scores". My guess was wrong.

Susan Jane Todd in Conversation with Thomas Hauerslev
My father had the difficult job of following in his father’s footsteps. I think my father always wanted to be a philosopher: that was his Major in college. He loved fine art – painting and sculpture. And good literature. But he got stuck with "Scent of Mystery" this because his father died. They were just about to work on a Todd-AO movie – "Don Quixote". He couldn’t do it because he was in so much grief – so he made this project. |  Re-constructing “The Best of Cinerama”. And a new restoration of “This is Cinerama”
By Dave Strohmaier
This title that was created with select clips from all the shows, except “Windjammer”. The postproduction process was performed at the Forum Theater in Los Angeles and was a bit unusual. The Cinerama editors assembled the work picture in a few months using old existing prints of the five travelogues, then cleaned and rejuvenated at Pix Fix. That’s why no negatives were ever located for “Best of” in the vaults. |  Beatrice Troller (1932 - 2015)

By Thomas Hauerslev
The Schauburg Cinerama in Karlsruhe will get a new screen installed early in September 2015. The current screen was 9 year old and we needed to replace it. Since we can take the screen aside and use the back stage for live performances too, wear and tear was starting to show on our screen. It is a Harkness Perlux 140 with a 1,4 gain which gives the most neutral colors and most pleasing look of all screen types and helps to eliminate the cross reflections of the deeply curved Cinerama screen at the Schauburg. |  Be part of Smell-O-Vision history!

I was a cinema newsreel cameraman, with Fox Movietone. We covered the Ascot horse racing and I was assigned to film when the Queen went down and talked to all the jockeys. We had to film that from quite a long way away, because CinemaScope was about wide screen, it didn’t cross their minds to equip me with a long lens. The only CinemaScope lens I had was a wide one, and the Queen was tiny, a long way away. I took the decision, to go down from my assigned location to the ground level and film the Queen. |  "Think Big" World Premiere Screening, 8. October 2015, Schauburg Cinerama, Karlsruhe

Das Kino des Deutschen Filmmuseums zeigt im Juli vier 70mm-Filme – eine seltene Gelegenheit, die man sich nicht entgehen lassen sollte. Bis Anfang der 1970er Jahre war 70mm das Format für aufwändige Großproduktionen. Nach wie vor gibt es Liebhaber des Formats: Paul Thomas Anderson drehte 2012 Teile von "THE MASTER" mit einer 65mm-Kamera, Christopher Nolan nutzte für den Dreh von "INTERSTELLAR" sowohl 35mm-Kameras als auch 65mm-IMAXKameras und sorgte dafür, dass sein Film zusätzlich zum digitalen Format auch als 70mm-Analogfilm in die Kinos kam. |  The German Travelogue "Flying Clipper – Traumreise unter weißen Segeln" in Germany and in the USA

“Inherent Vice,” an adaptation of Thomas Pynchon’s seventh and funniest novel, is the seventh film written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson—and the very first film adaptation ever of Pynchon’s legendarily inventive, culturally kaleidoscopic work.

After seeing the 70mm test footage, there was a rousing applause. The next thing we saw was a DCP version of the material and it really shows how proper film projection truly trumps digital. The blacks were mushy and undefined, the highlights were clearly peaking and the whole image looked flat. All of that beautiful depth seen in the film projection was lost. We sadly realized this format, developed in the 50's, is still better then all the money we've thrown at conventional digital projection. |  June 1990, Restored "Lawrence of Arabia" premieres in Copenhagen, Denmark

By Anders M Olsson
I've seen these films many times, but only on deeply curved screens, and on my own smallish TV. Never before had I seen them on a large flat screen. When seated at least halfway back into the cinema, the smilebox process made the illusion of a curved screen complete. If I hadn't known better, I could have sworn that I was actually sitting in front of a curved screen.
• Go to Gallery: Cinerama Remaster, Oslo, Norway |  70MM in Varnsdorf – eine neue Hoffnung?
Von Ulrich Rostek
Was macht der Abhängige, wenn ihm das Suchtmittel ausgeht? Er sucht sich neue Quellen. Nachdem das traditionelle Widescreen Weekend in Bradford auf den Herbst verschoben wurde und ich das 70mm-Event in Krnov aus terminlichen Gründen leider nicht wahrnehmen konnte, war ich froh, auf „In70mm.com“ die Ankündigung eines bislang noch nicht in Erscheinung getretenen 70-mm-Festivals im tschechischen Varnsdorf zu entdecken. Gespannt machte ich mich auf einen wieder einmal weiten Weg. |  70MM in Varnsdorf - a new hope?
By Ulrich Rostek
Hard times for a 70mm addict. The traditional Widescreen Weekend in Bradford was shifted to October and business kept me away from Krnov. So I felt happy, when an up till then unknown event was announced on “In70mm.com”. Once again I took a long journey only to watch a couple of movies. Imbedded in a beautiful landscape not too far away from either the German or the Polish border the Czech smalltown Varnsdorf is not the center of the world and tourist attractions are somewhat limited. |  Sold Out “Windjammer”
By Randy Gitch
After 22 days on marquees and movie screens, the 2015 European Cinerama Festival Tour has closed its’ last show in Oslo, Norway with a sold-out presentation of “Windjammer: The Voyage of the Christian Radich” at the Norwegian Film Institute’s Cinemateket. The film is a Norwegian favorite. |  Visiting 70MM Cinemas of London's West End, September 1990
By Thomas Hauerslev
In September 1990, I visited London to see and photograph the 70mm cinemas. Looking at the pictures from London in 1990 so many years later inspired me to make a gallery to share the images for the first time. Maybe someone will see them and enjoy looking back at a time when things were different, and of course - a lot better. In fact, at least 70mm better.

The Dominion on Tottenham Ct. Road, London. More than 2000 seats in several floors. Once the home of "South Pacific" in Todd-AO where it played for 4 years and 22 weeks. A world record.

KARLSRUHE, May 2015 / in70mm.com news. We have launched the 11th instalment of the “Todd-AO 70mm Festival“ to be held from 9 - 11 October 2015 at the Schauburg Cinerama in Karlsruhe, Germany. For three days in October Filmtheater Schauburg celebrates the world of LARGE FORMAT film, by offering a series of epic films in 70mm - the HD of film formats.

One of very few original cinemas, still equipped with 70mm projectors. The huge screen is 18 meters wide, curved and covered by a "Cinerama red" curtain. It’s the perfect framework to present 70mm in the splendour of 6-track magnetic sound. For 2015, a brand new Harkness screen will be installed prior to the festival. No expenses are spared to give you the very best experience.

To celebrate our 10th anniversary, my wife and I decided to make a train trip up to Seattle from Portland. Our intent, being fans of Charlton Heston's films, and "Ben-Hur", in particular, was to take advantage of the 1 day showing at the newly upgraded Cinerama Theatre. And Seattle is such a great weekend destination for fun and culture! |

By Thomas Hauerslev
I went up to Bradford to see National Museum of Photography, Film & Television on a 1-day return trip by train during a visit to London. I had read about this new museum in Screen International some years before and it came highly recommended. I was especially interested to see the IMAX cinema. |  HTWWW's "World Preview" in Paris
By Gerhard Witte
The Cinerama movie "How the West Was Won" (USA) had its official World Premiere on Thursday, November 01, 1962 at London's Casino Cinerama Theatre, where it subsequently successfully ran for more than 120 weeks. Previously, there had already been a "World Preview" of the movie at the Empire Cinerama Theatre in Paris on Tuesday, October 02, 1962. |  Smilebox® Wows On Curved Or Flat Screens

• Go to A Small Collection of Vintage Industry Adverts |  Cinerama 70mm short subject remastering work completed
By Dave Strohmaier
The 6-track magnetic prints were certainly faded to the usual Eastman color magenta, and we realized that at some point we should do a digital makeover to protect the assets. Tom March and I went to the vaults last January to pull the titles and examine them for overall condition. We could see that the fading was even more severe that when the prints were shown a few years back. Since no negatives were ever located we would have to relay on color recovery techniques to try to rebuild back as much color as possible. |  An Incol 70/35 projection booth as found
By Paulo Roberto P. Elias
When the 70mm craze of the 1960’s was in progress a significant number of regular 35mm theaters refurbished their installations to give shelter to the relative more complex 70mm projection system. It took quite a long time but when the demise of the 70mm format exhibition started there was a coincidental decadence of the so-called street theaters and palace theaters that was due to the financial burden imposed by public administrators and service providers to major exhibitors and independent theater owners. |  Portland, Oregon USA 70mm Update
By Morgan Montague
The Hollywood Theatre in Portland has completed its 70mm restoration project and to great success. Large format film began running again through the projectors at the cinema, with 5 Sold Out performances of "2OO1: A Space Odyssey". Originally, only 1 performance was scheduled, which sold out immediately. To meet the demand another performance was added and it too sold out. And then another, and so on. Community response was simply overwhelming. |  Movies with artificial smells in cinemas
By Gerhard Witte
There was a race to get smells into films at the end of 1950s between the "Smell-O-Vision!" and the "AromaRama" processes. AromaRama was won at the time by the Walter Reade Organization with a documentary called "Behind the Great Wall". "AromaRama" had been unveiled in the DeMille Theatre in New York with the movie's premiere on December 08, 1959. |  The Greatest Show in Todd-AO: Mission Report from Karlsruhe
By Thomas Hauerslev
The Todd-AO Festival at the Schauburg is not only pretzel, sekt, schnitzel and Hoepfner's hefewize, it is indeed about going to the movies in style. An experience all by itself. Seeing the films at the Schauburg like seeing the films as they were originally presented - in a big cinema, on a a huge curved screen with red curtains and a Gong. It's all about showmanship and presentation, and very few cinemas do it better than the staff of the Schauburg. |  KRRR! 10th 70mm Film Fest Krnov 2015

By Walter P Siegmund
During our big move from Pomfret to Brooklyn many things were found which were long hidden and forgotten, including more old Todd-AO files and photos. You will may find the enclosed material of further interest in connection with the printing of the Todd-AO “Process”. These are descriptions and original calculations on various ideas about corrective printing the release prints. |  "An Homage To D W Griffith" A short Film In Ultra Panavision 70
By Dan Sherlock
The last Ultra Panavision 70 film that was released was reportedly KHARTOUM in 1966. As it turns out, there was one more Ultra Panavision 70 short subject that was made over 20 years later. In 1988, the equipment and lenses were used for a special short subject that was also the only time the format used a speed of 30 frames per second rather than the normal 24 frames per second format. |  70mm Presentations - Letters from Directors
By Paul Rayton
Back in the heydays of 70mm exhibition of movies, it was not uncommon for a projectionist to open a shipping case of a 70mm title and find a "personal" letter from someone associated with the film. Typically it would be signed by the Director, or the Producer. Subjects addressed would be things like the illumination level on screen, and the audio playback level. Apparently many cinemas typically ran sound a bit too low. These messages were typically reminding us projectionists to run the sound at the "Dolby Standard" of a fader setting of "7". | The 2015 European Cinerama Festival Tour
Randy Gitsch has announced that Dave Strohmaier and he have been invited to present a slate of motion pictures they’ve digitally re-mastered, in a traveling film festival in four cities in Germany, Austria and Norway. Each venue will program from a roster of available titles, including features and short-subjects originally from 3-panel and 70mm. THE 2015 EUROPEAN CINERAMA FESTIVAL TOUR, as it is now called, will kick off on April 18 with multiple screenings at the Schauburg Cinerama in Karlsruhe, Germany. |  Kodak Finalizes Motion Picture Film Agreements with Major Hollywood Studios

Krnov is a little town in the north east of the Czech Republic, on the Opava River, near the Polish border. The city was founded in 1221. Krnov has an 18th-century castle, several churches and abbeys as well as a lookout tower from 1903.

Its industrial center manufactures textiles, beverages and musical instruments. |  “Scent of Mystery” Playdate History
By David Coles
In its original “SCENT OF MYSTERY” incarnation a new sound concept was featured, which unfortunately was never used again. Todd-Belock 8-channel Stereophonic sound was essentially normal 6-track magnetic 70mm sound, but with Perspecta-like encoding on the 6th surround channel. This automatically directed that track to left, right and rear auditorium speakers, as appropriate, during the showing. |  70MM Impressions from Oslo
By Thomas Hauerslev
By far 2015 has been the most successful 70mm festival since the beginning in 2000. Several shows have been sold out, including "South Pacific" and "War and Peace" (1. February). A presentation of the festival appeared on national television with more than a million viewers. Jan have also been interviewed on radio to talk about the festival. 70mm is indeed back and "to be seen on the big screen" in Oslo.

By Gerhard Witte
Samuel Bronston's epic premiered in 70mm in Hamburg at the impressive "Ufa-Palast am Gänsemarkt" on 25.05.1962. On the same day the movie also debuted at the Berlin Cinerama Capitol-Filmtheater.

"El Cid is one of the greatest epic films ever made. Anthony Mann's sense of composition, his use of space, and his graceful camera movements bring to life an ancient tapestry where the transformation of an ordinary man into a legend becomes almost a mystical experience."

The soundtrack of a Cinerama feature could be formatted as 6-track stereo, with mono surround or as 7 or even 8 track stereo with stereo surrounds. In some films surround format would change within the feature. The projectionist would follow a cue sheet indicating when sound channels had to be changed during the performance. This is an example from Malmø in Sweden. |  70mm, Cinerama and Cinemiracle shown in Sweden

By Paulo Roberto P. Elias
A conversão de filme em película para vídeo a partir do interpositivo costuma dar resultados não condizentes com a resolução do Blu-Ray, mas neste caso a imagem supera todas as expectativas, mesmo do usuário mais exigente e, na minha opinião, superou todas as outras transcrições semelhantes, lançadas em passado recente. Sendo este um esforço que beneficia o resgate da história tecnológica do cinema, a presença deste set no mercado brasileiro deveria ser obrigatória, mas a Fox local ainda não se pronunciou a respeito. | The restoration of Oklahoma! on Blu-Ray
By Paulo Roberto P. Elias
The current Blu-Ray release will prove that the restoration done for Oklahoma! was indeed first rate. The sharpness and increased depth of focus of the picture that can be noticed is also a bonus in the magnitude of the field of vision achieved by the Todd-AO format. More importantly, the new restoration manages to put the colour balance back into the film. Hues and saturation are retrieved in perfect harmony, to the extent of making the picture look like new. |  70mm, Cinerama and Cinemiracle films shown in Norway
