Sune
L Thomsen and his Gentofte Kino located just outside central Copenhagen. The 2023 GIFF 70 70mm Festival takes

Sune bought the Kino in March 2020, and his ambition was to be able to show
all film formats, including 70mm. GIFF 70 is a celebration of large format
films, and to the greatest film makers. Sune bought an authentic
Philips DP70 Todd-AO projector and had it installed. The premiere
of 70mm was Christopher
Nolan's "Tenet"
in blazing 70mm in August 2020. It was a huge success in 70mm, playing for
more than a month. Gentofte Kino was one of two dozen European cinemas which
showed "Tenet"
exclusively in the splendour of 7OMM.

Gentofte International Film Festival, 2023, Copenhagen, Denmark
The Kino opened in 1938, and has welcomed guests for 83 years! In fact
today, it is the second largest Danish single screen cinema with 290
comfortable Quinette seats. The matt-white screen is 12 meters wide and with
a proper CinemaScope curve. The Kino is equipped with DATSAT and Dolby Stereo for 70mm,
a brand new 4K digital projector, and not least with proper curtains in front of the
screen.
This is a unique opportunity to see some recent films presented in authentic
70mm and some vintage classics. Do not miss this rare chance to see some of
the greatest films in a real cinema. Within these classic settings,
Gentofte International Film Festival 2021 launched the first 70mm festival
in Copenhagen in many years.

brothers Lyle and Tector Gorch, Mexican Angel and old-timer Sykes. Trying to
raid a rail- road depot, they are caught in an ambush laid by Thornton, a
former member of the gang, now forced to act as a bounty hunter to keep out
of prison. The Wild Bunch, now on the run pursued by Thornton and his posse'
of disreputable bounty hunters, then make a deal with Mapache, an
unprincipled Mexican bandit general, to steal for him a railway wagon load
of army guns and ammunition. They succeed but fall out with Mapache over his
brutal treatment and murder of Angel. In a terrible holocaust of slaughter,
Pike, Dutch, and the Gorch brothers, Mapache and hundreds of his men are
shot. Indeed the only survivors are Thornton and Sykes, who agree to join
forces.

When Halliday dies, he leaves his immense fortune to the first person to
find a digital Easter egg he has hidden somewhere in the OASIS, sparking a

Bear-cub Youk lives happily with his mother. A fatal rock-blow makes him an
orphan. The innocent youngster then wanders alone in the wild where it is
fun to play with butterflies and eat mushrooms. He seeks refuge with Kaar, a
huge Kodiak bear as solitary as he is sinister. Kaar rejects Youk, until the
cub licks the wounds Kaar received from a hunter’s gun. A friendship is
born. Kaar shares his life experience with Youk, who gradually learns about
the dangers of life. The cub will have to face many adventures as well as
men with guns. Tom the hunter (Cheky Karyo) and his sinister accomplice Bill
the trapper (Jack Wallace) prowl the forest. Captured and separated from his
protector, Youk wins over Tom, who gradually sees his prey in a new light. (jjannaud.com)
