Pictureville Cinema. Image by Thomas Hauerslev
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.

Why
is 70mm so special? |
|
 Vintage 70mm
film. Image by Thomas Hauerslev
"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.
