celebrates the world of LARGE FORMAT film, by offering a series of epic
films in 70mm - the HD of film formats.
Thursday Starter:

"In den Schuhen des Fischers"

"Let's Spend the Night Together"
We are proud to present the latest 70mm film and a some 70mm film
classics which all proudly carry the names of large format film: DEFA 70, VistaVision, Sovscope 70, Panavision, IMAX and Ultra
Panavision 70. We feel our 2015 program has it all: Space adventures,
Musical, Drama, War, Nazis, Religion, Music, Songs, Mystery, Cars,
Chases, Panzer, Adventure, Revenge and true love. Bring your family,
your children, your grand mother to see the films again in a big cinema.
Join us and be part of this unique event and share the excitement

Some films are in their original English versions and some "70mm Vintage
Classics", are dubbed into German. Due to the age of the prints, many
have lost their color and are faded. But they are ORIGINAL premiere 70mm
prints from the 1960s.

 Like all modern cinemas, The Schauburg enjoys the benefits and
advantages of digital projection technology, but our "Todd-AO Festival"
policy is simple, however. NO DIGITAL! No compromise at the Schauburg
where 70mm is concerned! That is our Todd-AO Festival hall mark, as we
honour 60 years of 70mm projectionist tradition, and present film as
they were meant to be presented, on genuine 70MM film.
One of very few original cinemas, still equipped with 70mm projectors.
The huge screen is 18 meters wide, curved and covered by a "Cinerama
red" curtain. It’s the perfect framework to present 70mm in the
splendour of 6-track magnetic sound. For 2015, a brand new Harkness
screen will be installed prior to the festival. No expenses are spared
to give you the very best experience.
• "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.
All 70mm films will be projected by vintage and historically correct
Philips DP70 and DP75 projectors. Magnetic sound by Dolby Laboratories sound
equipment and state of the art Alcon speakers.

Tickets will be available for purchase very soon.

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.

• "I want to do a road show kind of thing," Ashby explained,
"because the film has got a lot of energy in it. Every time I
screen it people come up to me afterwards and say, 'My God!' so
I want to take a 70mm, six-channel stereo print and put it up
where people can have some fun. I want to screen it where people
can get up and dance" (from Being Hal Ashby: Life of a
Hollywood Rebel by Nick Dawson).

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.

Ob's stürmt oder schneit, ob die Sonne uns lacht,

Verstaubt sind die Gesichter, doch froh ist unser Sinn, ja,

Es braust unser Panzer im Sturmwind dahin.

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!

Like all modern cinemas, The Schauburg enjoys the benefits and
advantages of digital projection technology, but our "Todd-AO Festival"
policy is simple, however. NO DIGITAL! No compromise at the Schauburg
where 70mm is concerned! That is our Todd-AO Festival hall mark, as we
honour 60 years of 70mm projectionist tradition, and present film as
they were meant to be presented, on genuine 70MM film.
