Dear Thomas and Bill
I thoroughly enjoyed Bradford again this year. It was all very enjoyable
and great to meet such a wonderful group of enthusiasts from all over
the world again. I certainly learned a lot more about Cinerama and also
found the presentation to John Harvey very moving as I suspect most
others did too. I attach a number of photos as a memory of the event. I
am not sure whether or not you might consider them as an image gallery
of WW2010 for the in70mm.com website or not - you may already have
plenty of material - if you do please credit me.
All being well there should be another report on WW2010 in the next
edition of "Cinema Technology" - I will also forward a copy as a word
document with pics to Thomas for possible inclusion in the website
archives as Thomas did with my preceding three articles.
I will be doing an article on
“Napoleon” and Polyvision and am possibly
looking at investigating widescreen pre-history back a lot lot earlier
than that too - will let you see that later on this year - possibly an
item you might be interested in for WW2011 ?
Can I suggest screening a 70mm print of "Mutiny on the Bounty" at
WW if there is one? I recently bought a DVD of this film and it looks as
though it has been given the full restoration treatment - even just the
std. DVD looks magnificent on my home cinema screen - I wonder if they
"struck" a new 70 mm print ?
Kind regards
Mark Trumpeteler

Widescreen Weekend 2010
Hello from France,
Amongst the hundreds of people you shake hands with, I don't know if
you'll remember me. but in any case, I'm a new Bradford (and French)
enthusiast. We briefly met at the Omar Khan restaurant on Sunday 28th
evening, just before you were leaving.
I was a first timer at the WSW and I wanted once again to congratulate
you for this exceptional moment in Bradford.
I also wanted to let you know i wrote a report (in French) for the
devildead.com website. It's a French website mostly dedicated to
genre movies - we are 5 volunteers-redactors running it. But as I'm the
widescreen film fanatic of the group, i really wanted to say something
about this event - and try to get some people to come over next year.
As I quickly told you before you left , the screening of the first reel
of SUSPIRIA was a high point to me - as totally unexpected! And the
perspective of seeing again on a wide screen this rare 35 mm- 4 magnetic
tracks copy of SUSPIRIA as it was intended to be seen would be an
unmissable event for me and some people.
Best of Luck for 2010 and hopefully, see you at the next Widescreen
weekend in 2011.
Best regards, Francis
Barbier
