 The following is a reference / historical listing of the 70-millimeter presentations of “North by Northwest.” These screenings offer moviegoers a unique opportunity to re-experience the film in a rare, after-the-fact 70mm print.The Warner Bros. release (originally MGM) was directed by Alfred Hitchcock (“Vertigo,” “Psycho”) and starred Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint and James Mason. Per Tribeca Festival program: “‘North by Northwest’ was filmed in VistaVision and released in 1.85:1. Warner Bros.’ Motion Picture Imaging scanned the original 8-perf 35mm VistaVision camera negative in 13k with all restoration work completed in 6.5k, Sheri Eisenberg, Colorist. The 70mm film print was created at Fotokem by filming out a new 65mm negative. Warner Bros.’ Post Production Creative Services created a 5.1 audio mix from the original mono stems with Doug Mountain, Sound Mixer. Inventure Studios created the DTS encoded deliverable of the restored audio to playback flawlessly with the 70mm film print. This newly restored version has been approved by the Film Foundation.” Opening/screening date YYYY-MM-DD … locale — cinema (duration in weeks) [notes] 2024-06-12 … New York, NY, USA — Angelika Village East 7 [Tribeca Festival] 2024-06-18 … Bologna, Italy — Piazza Maggiore [Il Cinema Ritrovato] (OV w/ Italian subtitles) 2024-06-27 … Bologna, Italy — Cinema Modernissimo [Il Cinema Ritrovato] (OV w/ Italian subtitles) 2024-07-12 … Los Angeles, CA, USA — Egyptian [70mm Festival] 2024-07-13 … Los Angeles, CA, USA — Egyptian [70mm Festival] 2024-07-14 … Los Angeles, CA, USA — Egyptian [70mm Festival] 2024-07-17 … Santa Monica, CA, USA — Aero [70mm Festival] 2024-07-18 … Santa Monica, CA, USA — Aero [70mm Festival] 2024-07-23 … New York, NY, USA — Lincoln Center 2024-07-24 … New York, NY, USA — Lincoln Center 2024-07-25 … New York, NY, USA — Lincoln Center 2024-08-09 … Chicago, IL, USA — Music Box [70mm festival] 2024-08-10 … Chicago, IL, USA — Music Box [70mm festival] 2024-08-11 … Chicago, IL, USA — Music Box [70mm festival] 2024-08-30 … Portland, OR, USA — Hollywood 2024-08-31 … Portland, OR, USA — Hollywood 2024-09-01 … Portland, OR, USA — Hollywood 2024-09-12 … Columbus, OH, USA — Wexner Center 2024-09-13 … Columbus, OH, USA — Wexner Center 2024-09-14 … Columbus, OH, USA — Wexner Center 2024-09-26 … Bradford, England, UK — Pictureville [Widescreen Weekend] 2024-10-04 … New York, NY, USA — Paris [Big & Loud series] 2024-10-05 … New York, NY, USA — Paris [Big & Loud series] 2024-10-09 … New York, NY, USA — Paris [Big & Loud series] 2024-10-21 … Somerville, MA, USA — Somerville 2024-10-22 … Somerville, MA, USA — Somerville 2024-10-23 … Somerville, MA, USA — Somerville 2025-01-19 … Vienna, Austria — Gartenbau (OV w/ German subtitles) OV = Original Version (i.e. English-language soundtrack) More bookings TBA Special Thanks: Il Cinema Ritrovato, Sheldon Hall, Tribeca Festival.
