 Yes, "TRON" was filmed in
65mm
By Rob Hummel
"Tron" was shot 65mm 2,2:1 aspect ratio for all scenes. 65mm color for all the "real world material," and 65mm Black and White for all the material that was later composited into the "electronic world". |
 "Around the World in 80 Days"
By
David Coles
"Do
not refer to Around
the World in 80 Days
as a movie. It's not
a movie. Movies are
something you can
see in your
neighbourhood theatre
and eat popcorn
while you're
watching
them....Show Around
the World in 80 Days
almost exactly as
you would present a
Broadway show in
your theatre."

 "Oklahoma"
By
David Coles
For ten years, since the musical play "Oklahoma!" opened
in New York City, March 31, 1943, the major movie companies
made overtures to Rodgers and Hammerstein for the movie
right of "Oklahoma!" Nothing happened until one day when
both Dick and Oscar were invited to see test shots of the
Todd-AO process. Then it became obvious that the movies were
ready for "Oklahoma!" |
 "South
Pacific"
By
David Coles
South Pacific is a 1958 American romantic musical film
based on the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical South Pacific,
which in turn based on James A. Michener's short-story
collection Tales of the South Pacific. The film, directed by
Joshua Logan, starred Rossano Brazzi, Mitzi Gaynor, John
Kerr and Ray Walston in the leading roles with Juanita Hall
as Bloody Mary, the part that she had played in the original
stage production. The film was nominated for three Academy
Awards, winning the Academy Award for Best Sound for Fred
Hynes. |

Weekend 2000 Review
By the weekend delegates
Reading through a copy of the Yorkshire Post Supplement for
The Bradford Film Festival, confirms that this is an event of international
significance throughout the film world, and a great accomplishment for all
those involved in what must surely be an exercise of enormous complexity.
Securing sponsors of such integrity, and that are willing and confident to
support so worthwhile a project, surely, is initially a challenge and ultimately a triumph. |
 Widescreen
Weekend 2000
By Thomas Hauerslev
I thought the Bradford Wide Screen Weekend 2000 was
terrific. How wonderful to see the movies one made for the
cinema instead of all the little multiplex houses, video or
cable. As I looked at many of the scenes in “Battle of the
Bulge” the thought passed through my mind - how the hell did
we set up that scene with all its tanks and action?!

 A Brief History of Philips
Cinema
By C.
G. Nijsen
The
Philips Light bulb factory was founded in 1891 by
Gerard Philips and Dr. Anton Philips.
When the "Philips" brand
became so successful, they decided to enlarge their scope
from lamps only to everything electrical or electronic. |
The First Oslo 70mm Festival
2000
By Sebastian Rosacker
It was the very first 70mm-festival there and it turned out to be a grand success. Not only Norwegians were there. I talked to people from Austria and England and if I´m not mistaken I even I heard some Italian there. I was there together with two friends from Malmö,
Sweden. Even the Norwegian Minister of Culture paid a visit. |
