 KARLSRUHE,
August 2014 / in70mm.com news. We have launched the
10th instalment of the “Todd-AO 70mm Festival“ to be held from 3 - 5
October 2014 at the Schauburg in Karlsruhe, Germany.
For three days in October Filmtheater Schauburg
celebrates the world of LARGE FORMAT film, by offering
a series of epic films in 70mm - the HD of film formats. Some films are in their original versions and
some "70mm Vintage Classics", are dubbed into German.
Once again spectacular large format process names like CINERAMA, Super Technirama
70, DEFA70, Todd-AO, Panavision 70 and Super Panavision 70 will light
up on the large 18 meter curved Cinerama screen.
Let us hope, that the splendour of 70mm not only serves our nostalgic dreams, but also offers the chance for a young audience to experience a historic and magic landmark of cinema.
Join us and be part of this unique event and share the excitement together with visitors from all around the world - including Austria, Switzerland, Holland, Germany, Denmark, England, USA and France - and hopefully many more.
One of very few original cinemas, still equipped with 70mm projectors.
The huge screen is wide, curved and covered by a "Cinerama red" curtain. It’s the perfect framework
to present 70mm with 6-track sound in
Super Technirama 70, DEFA 70, Todd-AO and Ultra Panavision 70.
• "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.

 Festival
Welcome with Coffee/Tea. Meet and greet friends of 70mm and
curved screens. Talk about vinegar, pink prints and Big Bores.
See pictures
from 9th Todd-AO Festival.
This festival, dedicated to a movie format nearly 60 years old, is
a dream for a lot of movie fans around the world. Today, movies
and cinemas have reached a time of change – a change from film
based to digital cinema and a change in the way movies are felt
and understood. We are sure, that our “Todd-AO 70mm Festival”
presented on the curved screen of the Schauburg not only will
make you remember cinema-going from a time long ago, but also
make you aware of the responsibility we all have: To honour the
genius of so many people who have given us stories and
unforgettable moments in breathtaking and crystal clear large
format pictures.
Let us hope, that the splendour of 70mm not only serves our
nostalgic dreams, but also offers the chance for a young
audience to experience a historic and magic landmark of cinema.

In the Splendor of 70mm (in German)
Since the dawn of cinema the standard film size has been 35mm film, but for
certain films, the larger 65mm negative was used in the camera to ensure the
best possible image quality. The benefit was a clearer and sharper screen
image compared to "inferior" 35mm films. The "big" films
often premiered in the largest cinemas, featuring huge screens that
were often deeply curved - compared to contemporary flat screens.
The curvature of the screen had an enveloping effect on the
audience which gave them a feeling of participation in the
action on the screen.

An seinem dritten Geburtstag verweigert der 1924 in der Freien
Stadt Danzig geborene Oskar Matzerath weiteres Wachstum und
Teilnahme an der Welt der Erwachsenen. Auf seiner Blechtrommel
artikuliert das ewige Kind seinen Protest gegen Nazis und
Mitläufer, und erst nach Kriegsende fasst Oskar den Beschluss,
wieder zu wachsen, um mitzubestimmen. Schlöndorffs brillant
inszenierte, weitgehend werktreue Verfilmung des Romans von
Günter Grass. Eine opulente Bestseller-Verfilmung voller
sinnlicher Kraft. Der Film wurde u.a. mit dem "Oscar" für den "besten
nichtenglischsprachigen Film" ausgezeichnet. (Quelle: Film-Dienst)

Ein geheimnisvoller schwarzer Monolith, der offenbar von
Außerirdischen stammt, beeinflusst in grauer Vorzeit die
Entstehung von Intelligenz und den "Aufbruch der Menschheit",
wird Jahrtausende später von Wissenschaftlern auf dem Mond
entdeckt und lockt ein Forschungsraumschiff in Richtung Jupiter.
Die Mission endet nach dem Versagen des Bordcomputers mit einer
Katastrophe; der einzig überlebende Astronaut begegnet der
außerirdischen Macht und erfährt eine kosmische Wiedergeburt.
Kubricks fantastisches Kinoabenteuer vereint technische Utopie
und kulturphilosophische Spekulation zu einer Weltraumoper von
überwältigendem Ausmaß. Der kühne gedankliche Entwurf des Films
(eine Entwicklungsgeschichte der Menschheit voller Skepsis und
bitterer Ironie) wird mit nicht minder kühnen optischen Effekten
und einer revolutionären Tricktechnik realisiert, die das Genre
des Science-Fiction-Films in den folgenden Jahren entscheidend
prägten. (Quelle: Film-Dienst)

Die Filmversion der erfolgreichen "Rockoper": Eine Gruppe junger
Leute spielt in den Ruinen antiker Bauten in der Negev-Wüste
Stationen aus dem Leben Jesu und seiner Jünger. Der Akzent liegt
auf dem machtpolitischen Spannungsverhältnis, in das Jesus durch
den Massenerfolg seiner Predigten gerät. Judas wird als
tragische Figur interpretiert: Seine Skepsis und Verzweiflung
angesichts der zur Droge gewordenen christlichen Lehre - auf
deren sozialrevolutionäre Kraft er hoffte - treibt ihn zu Verrat
und Selbstmord. Die brillant fotografierte Inszenierung macht
sich mitunter selbst zum Thema, indem sie Starkult und
Showbusiness ironisiert, verdrängt diese kritischen Ansätze
jedoch durch kunstgewerbliche Musical-Bombastik. Interessant als
Dokument der Jugendkultur zu Beginn der 70er Jahre. (Quelle:

In the Splendor of 70mm (in German)
Fall season is here, days are getting shorter, it is getting
colder, and it is time to move inside a cinema and see films again. Not
just any films, but BIGGER and BRIGHTER films. Not only that, but also
SHARPER and with more DEPTH than anything you can see in a cinema. It is
time for the 10th Todd-AO Festival, which celebrates everything that is
bigger and better in the cinema. Yes, it is time for 70MM FILMS!

Once again, the projector lens will light up the screen and show
unbelievably sharp 70mm images of lesser-known and rarely seen
films. Some of which only exist in this single 70mm print. Don’t
forget, some of these films would be completely forgotten a long
time ago, were it not for these rare 70mm prints. The sharpness
will still make it a pleasant experience. And as much as you may
hate in on TV, you will have fun seeing it in 70mm on the curve.
This is your opportunity to witness the grandeur and spectacle of nearly half a dozen Road-Show films on an authentic 70mm Cinerama cinema. Herbert Born and his staff have again done their utmost to make this weekend one of a kind. The Schauburg Cinerama is one of the last cinemas still equipped with 70mm projectors, a red curtain and a huge curved screen. An authentic cinema experience and LARGE FORMAT EVENT, uniquely Schauburg, to be shared with many friends from all over Europe.
…and now, "Gong", start projector, cue curtain, dim the lights,
open dowser, focus, check sound.....the show is
running.........another unforgettable weekend at the Schauburg!

Eine Gangsterbande besetzt am Weihnachtsabend das 30. Stockwerk
eines Bürohochhauses, nimmt die Gäste einer Party als Geiseln
und versucht, 640 Millionen Dollar in Wertpapieren aus dem Safe
eines japanischen Konzerns zu erbeuten. Ein zufällig anwesender
Polizist durchkreuzt in einem aussichtslos erscheinenden Kampf
gegen die Gangster und gegen die Tücken der Hochhaus-Elektronik
den ausgefeilten Plan. Unter Einsatz aller erdenklichen
technischen Raffinessen auf Hochspannung getrimmter harter
Action-Film, der in der zweiten Hälfte zunehmend an Ironie
gewinnt. Seine Rasanz und Dramatik erreicht er erst in der
70mm-Fassung und einem dementsprechend eingerichteten Kino.
Erwähnenswert: die gegenüber dem amerikanischen Original durch
Synchronisation und kleine Kürzungen veränderte Darstellung der
deutschen Gangster mit terroristischem Hintergrund. (Quelle:

Um einen lateinamerikanischen Diktator und Drogenboß zu befreien,
der an die US-Behörden ausgeliefert werden soll, legt eine bis
an die Zähne bewaffnete und technisch raffiniert ausgestattete
Terroristen-Einheit den Flughafen von Washington lahm und läßt
ein Passagier-Flugzeug am Boden zerschellen. Ein Polizist aus
Los Angeles bringt praktisch im Alleingang das Unternehmen zum
Scheitern. Der spannende Kampf mit den Tücken moderner Technik,
der den Reiz von "Stirb langsam" (1987) ausmachte, weicht
oberflächlich konstruiertem, lautstarkem Aktionsreichtum mit nur
geringen Anzeichen von Ironie, aber um so mehr genreüblichen
Härten. (Quelle: Film-Dienst)
