 "Mulan"
in 70mm at the Hollywood Bowl
By Paul Rayton
The Walt Disney Company had several DTS 70mm
prints made of their new animated film "Mulan".
We doubt that any further uses of these prints are contemplated, but they
were at least being used locally for an invitational premiere on June 5 --
in L.A. at the Hollywood Bowl! The film opened nationwide in the US in 35mm
on June 19, 1998. |
 Mission
Report from Widescreen Weekend 1998
By Thomas Hauerslev
The audience often visited the
box/booth to ask the patient projectionists questions about
performance and 70mm prints. The projectionist crew, Duncan, Jennifer,
Juan and Tony, did a fantastic job working almost around the clock to
satisfy the desires of the ever-demanding 70mm aficionados in the
assemblage. They all got a rousing round of applause from the audience
at the end of Sunday for a job well done. |

 Jan Jacobsen - His Story
By Bill Shaw
Jan suggested: "I can build a 15-perf 65mm camera. No optical
printing will be needed." So, he went to work in his shop in
Copenhagen and, within 4 months, showed Graeme a very compact
camera, based on a tandem 7-1/2 perf mechanism. On Dec. 3, 1968, Jan
delivered the camera to Galt, Ontario, Canada, home of Multiscreen
Corporation, the original name of Imax Corporation. |

 Projecting the Widescreen Weekend
By Thomas Hauerslev
The audience ask about the difference between the curved and
flat screen. They are very keen to see what happens on the
different screens. Some films are made to be shown on the
Cinerama curve, and if it is well done, it looks good and
develops a more 3-dimensional aspect. You feel more drawn
into the picture. They forget everything else because of the
picture in front of them. The audiences clearly prefer the
curve to the flat screen. |

The
most remarkable moment came at the end of a working day in
1963. My father entered our living room, wearing a hat and
coat, which was very unusual for him, and told to us: “We
won an OSCAR"! |
 The Biggest format in the Smallest
Cinema
By Thomas Hauerslev
I run 70mm at Biffen for the simple reason I think it is a fabulous format.
I like to look at it, it is easy to handle and we can run it. It is
a pleasure for me to see a large well-illuminated 70mm image on the
screen. And with that large hole in the projector aperture plate, it
is easy to punch some light onto the screen. Those are the primary
reasons why I run 70mm here. |
Meet the Chief - Thomas
Hauerslev
Published in Cinema Technology
I have had one special movie interest: 70mm films. It is a
great joy for me to see a rock-steady 70mm image on a large
curved screen and listen to 6-track stereo. Thanks to the
high resolution (even from a blow-up) it is a very intense
experience for me to see 70mm. |
