 70MM
at the Schauburg. Todd-AO Festival Report
By Thomas Hauerslev
Every year in October a group of around 200 people meet in a cinema in
Baden-Württemberg, in the south of Germany. A large part of the audience
comes from Germany of course, but there are guests from all over Europe, the
United States and as far away as Japan. What are they doing? They are
watching classic 70MM films, many of which they often have seen many times
before. |
 Playback of magnetic
sound tracks on 70mm cinema prints at the Schauburg
By Clemens Scherer
At the Schauburg cinema in Karlsruhe the decision was made to have new
sound heads manufactured, not the usual ones, but with an updated position
of the pickups to reflect the average shrinkage of the prints. Running over
these sound heads, all the tracks are oscillating more symmetrically to
their pickups. One could consider in addition to have new guidance rollers
manufactured, optimized for the now smaller prints. |

 New
Curved Harkness 70mm Screen For Schauburg
By Thomas Hauerslev
The Schauburg Cinerama in
Karlsruhe will get a new screen installed early in September 2015. The
current screen was 9 year old and we needed to replace it. Since we can take
the screen aside and use the back stage for live performances too, wear and
tear was starting to show on our screen. It is a Harkness Perlux 140 with a
1,4 gain which gives the most neutral colors and most pleasing look of all
screen types and helps to eliminate the cross reflections of the deeply
curved Cinerama screen at the Schauburg. |

PREVIOUSLY ON
THE SCHAUBURG CURVE |
 In
the history of motion pictures, a film occasionally has
captured some moment of the human adventure in a manner to
transcend its initial goal of entertainment. These films not
only are long remembered but become a vital part of our
culture.
In "2OO1: A
SPACE ODYSSEY" Stanley Kubrick has created such a
film. It offers entertainment in abundance. But no greater
compliment can be paid a motion picture than to use it as a
yardstick by which to judge other pictures in later years.
"2OO1: A SPACE ODYSSEY" is this kind of picture.

 Pristine
3-strip 70MM Print of "Vigilant Switzerland" recently found in Archves of
the Swiss Army
By Herbert Born
This is the only existing 3-panel-70mm print of this movie. A total of 5
prints were made for the LAUSANNE FAIR in 1964. Projected with 3 70mm
projectors on a 450 square meters screen. |
 Schauburg
Cinerama restores "Vigilant Switzerland"
By Herbert Born
All three panels were scanned from the original and faded but mint 70mm
archive prints and are now in the process of being color graded to get the
original look back. "FORTRESS OF PEACE" will be shown in 70mm at the 2014
Todd-AO 70mm festival this October. An original 3-Panel-screening of the
DCP's in work is planned later this year. |

bekamen wir den Auftrag, diese Restauration er 3 Filmrollen
durchzuführen |

 "Savage
Pampas" released 19. December 2016 on German BluRay and 4K UltraHD
By Thomas Hauerslev
For
the fans of "Savage Pampas" here's finally the news you have been
waiting for. On 19. December 2016, the new BluRay and 4K UltraHD disc of the
classic MCS 70 Superpanorama western is finally available in stores. The new
transfer was made directly from an original and very sharp vintage 70mm print,
which was faded to the familiar red tones. Thanks to the talent of scan
master Mr. Vincent Koch in
Karlsruhe, Germany, the full color spectrum has been brought back in its
full glory to be enjoyed by the fans. |

 The
passing of Georg Fricker
By Peter Kohl, Karlsruhe
The great Karlsruhe cinema entrepreneur Georg Fricker is dead. He
passed away last Saturday [07.06.2008] in a clinic near Munich. |
Georg
Fricker ist tot
Von Peter Kohl, Karlsruhe
Der große Karlsruher Kinomacher Georg Fricker ist tot. Er starb am
vergangenen Samstag [07.06.2008] in einem Klinikum bei München. Gezeichnet von einem
Schlaganfall und einem Krebsleiden konnte man ihm in den letzten Jahren
noch einige Male begegnen - als unscheinbarem Gast in seinem eigenen
Kino, der Schauburg. |
 The
new Schauburg is unrecognizable
By
Badische Neueste
Nachrichten
The renovation in 1968 did not take quite as long as the almost 3 years it
had taken to produce the film, and was completed, including the golden
wallpaper, for approx. DM 300,000. By today’s standards that is an
incredibly small sum for such a conversion of Karlsruhe’s first large-capacity
cinema. Those responsible undertook a strategy of using technically
innovative and aesthetically pleasing design techniques in order to
benefit the public. |
Die
neue Schauburg ist nicht wiederzuerkennen
By Badische Neueste Nachrichten
Nicht ganz so lange wie die fast 3-jährigen Dreharbeiten hat der – trotz
goldener Tapeten – die für heutige Verhältnisse verschwindend geringe Summe von ca. 300.000 DM verschlingende Kino-Umbau zum ersten Karlsruher
Großraumkino gedauert. Die Strategie der Verantwortlichen bestand darin,
sich die Gunst des Publikums durch technisch einschneidende und
ästhetisch ansprechende Umbaumaßnahmen zu erkämpfen. |
