The Music Box Theatre is proud to bring you a two week festival of films
presented in glorious 70mm. See these films as their creators wished them to
be seen: on the big screen, in a theatre, on film, and in 70mm.
Almost since the advent of film there have been variations of 70mm film used
to capture visual clarity unequalled in 35mm filming. As 70mm films became
popular in the 1940’s through the 1980’s most were filmed in 65mm with the
remaining 5mm devoted to sound. Due to the costs of 70mm film few films were
ever shot in this large format, and following their initial release many of
them were also released in 35mm to facilitate wide release. Other films were
shot in 35mm and “blown up” top 70mm to facilitate more sound information.
When DTS sound and Dolby Surround were introduced to cinemas, 70mm (and
auditoriums devoted to 70mm) all but disappeared. The result: few people
have had the chance to see true 70mm presentation.
70mm is a format that
allows for more information and more visual clarity than its 35mm
counterpart. There is a depth to the image that is unlike 35mm, and
certainly very different from digital projection.
Over the past several years the film industry has moved away from film in
favor of digital projection. Film, in any format, is expensive to use for
production and replication. For the first time since the advent of sound,
cinemas have had to make a major change in their projection capabilities,
making the number of auditoriums outfitted for 35mm or 70mm film projection
very few.
The Music Box Theatre is committed to film presentation in any and all
formats available and is one of the very few cinemas in the United States
able to screen 16mm, 35mm, 70mm and almost all digital formats. It is with
this capability that in this very special series we proudly present to
Chicago these nine films as examples of 70mm film. All of these films were
filmed in 65mm and will be presented the way their makers intended.
To honour our commitment to film projection, the Music Box is very pleased
to have commissioned a brand new 70mm DTS print of
"2OO1: A Space Odyssey"
from Warner Brothers, produced at Fotokem, the last full service 65/70mm lab
in the United States. We've often hyped rare film screenings as the last
ever time a print may screen, but we're very happy to say we can guarantee
2OO1 will have a
home in 70mm in Chciago for the forseeable future. See it for the first
time, or the thirtieth!
