Audience at the Pictureville. 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 • Read full text: 2006 Widescreen Weekend report • Read full text: Widescreen Weekend 2006 - what the audience thought about it • Gallery: Bradford, Widescreeen Weekend 2006	*More in 70mm* reading: • Gallery: 2006 • 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

Ben Eagle, Deb Singleton and Bill Lawrence. Picture 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.
