Guests of honour 2000 Film Director Ken Annakin. Picture by Thomas Hauerslev Bill Lawrence, Head of Cinema: The Widescreen Weekend is a celebration of all that is extraordinary in large format film and has become a highlight on the film festival calendar. • Read full text: Creating the Widescreen Weekend Tony Cutts & Duncan McGregor, Heads of Projection: The audiences clearly prefer the curve to the flat screen. Generally, we have a difficult job explaining the difference between the formats and what film goes on which screen. "Why don't you show this on the curve?" they often ask. • Read full text: Projecting the Widescreen Weekend Bill Lawrence, Head of Cinema: I get quite a lot of feed-back from our guests in the form of letters, e-mails and phone calls. People are very happy, they had a great time and they think Pictureville Cinema has a nice atmosphere and is a nice place to visit. They generally have a good time here. • Read full text: Planning the Widescreen Weekend	*More in 70mm* reading: • Gallery: 2000 • WSW Home • Through the Years • The Best of WSW • Academy of the WSW** • Creating the WSW • Planning the WSW • Projecting the WSW • Home of CINERAMA • Projecting CINERAMA Internet link: Reel Solutions

Bill Lawrence, Head of Cinema and a Danish 70mm enthusiast. Picture by Thomas Hauerslev. Ken Annakin, film director: 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?! And I remember in the ”Magnificent Men” sequence of the day the planes were to take off. I thought, “Those 50 or 60 veteran cars, we persuaded them to drive around our airfield, on their way back from the Brighton Rally, and we had a crowd of 2000 plus our 20 old planes...and on that Cinerama screen we saw them all!!!!” • Read full text: Widescreen Weekend 2000 • Gallery: Bradford, Widescreen Weekend 2000

Projection team Jennifer Bayer, Roger Brown, Tony Cutts, John Cahill, and Duncan McGregor. Image by Thomas Hauerslev Thomas Hauerslev, Editor The 70mm Newsletter: The Pictureville cinema, the jewel of British cinema in Bradford, West Yorkshire in the heart of Great Britain, is one of three cinemas equipped to show Cinerama in the original 3-strip format. The huge screen is wide and deeply curved. It’s the perfect framework to present 70mm with 6-track sound in Super Technirama 70, Todd-AO and Ultra Panavision 70. • Read full text: Pictureville Cinema, Bradford, England Why is 70mm so special? *"in 70mm"* is unlike anything you have ever seen - a High Definition movie experience with extremely sharp images and crystal clear 6 track stereo. "in 70mm" is very realistic, almost three dimensional and can make everything you have ever seen pale into insignificance. But don't take our word for it - come and see for your self.
