MISSION STATEMENT |
Inspired by
Mr. Willem Bouwmeester's encouragement
"The International 70mm Association" - a promotion club for 70mm film
- was founded in 1988 by
Mr. Johan Wolthuis
in The Netherlands.
The original idea was
"Encourage film makers to produce and make new films in 65mm,
present them in 70mm with 6-track discrete digital sound on big curved screens".
"The 70mm Association Newsletter" was the "voice"
of The International 70mm Association. The magazine title was changed a
couple of
times, and "in70mm.com", is the latest incarnation of the
newsletter.

 Johan Wolthuis Says Goodbye
By Thomas Hauerslev
In Amsterdam I saw Michael Todd's show "Around the World in
80 Days". From that time on I was convinced that 70mm
Todd-AO with 6 channel sound is the ultimate film
presentation format for the cinema. |
 What
7OMM is to Johan Wolthuis
By Thomas Hauerslev
Johann Wolthuis has been crucially instrumental in reviving world wide
interest in 70mm. Indeed, it is no exaggeration to say that there might not
have been the same level of awareness and appreciation of the 70mm format
without his tireless dedication, advocacy and enthusiasm, which goes back
for over three decades. We who love 70mm and see it as the greatest and
grandest medium for the moving image of them all, owe him a great deal. He
speaks most eloquently for us all. |

THE 70MM NEWSLETTER |
 Issue 1 - 35
was published
and edited by Johan C M Wolthuis 1988 - 1994.
The web site editor took
up the challenge of editing The 70mm Newsletter when Mr. Wolthuis (Holland) passed on
the task to Thomas Hauerslev
(Denmark) in late 1994.
The
magazine underwent dramatic changes since issue #1 in December 1988.
The number of
pages tripled and from issue 36 the magazine (nearly) always only featured original
articles written exclusively
for in70mm - The 70mm Newsletter by leading
writers in their
fields. Issue 36 - 70
was published
and edited by Thomas Hauerslev 1994 - 2005
|
 The magazine was never a commercial venture - nor was it
intended to be. It had a lot of fans and the number of
subscribers
climaxed in 2000. The last issue was published in the fall of 2001 when the editor decided to stop for a number of
reasons.
Special edition issues #68 - #70 have been made for the
Widescreen Weekend.
For 7 years, when the magazine was produced regularly, it was edited and published in Copenhagen.
It didn't change a world, but it was a player on the international scene of 70mm film
fans.
25 years after the
first issue was published, all issues from #1 to #35
have been added to the on-line publication page
issuu.com AND as direct downloads from
in70mm.com as PDF files for your enjoyment. See the
links below next to each magazine cover.
The work is continuing on-line at in70mm.com |
