A
real gentleman and 70mm fan, Mr. Sebastian Rosacker. Image by Thomas Hauerslev
In 1998 I started, together with SF Bio AB, "Classics at the Royal". The
first film was my favourite “Doctor Zhivago” in the spring. We were 531
happy souls enjoying David Leans masterpiece in the best film format: 70mm.
Then, during 1998-1999 we showed
• "The Sound of Music"
• "Star!"
• "Gone With the Wind" (in 35mm) and • "Funny Girl".
1999-2000:
•
"Ben-Hur"
•
"That's Entertainment"
•
"Waterloo Bridge" (35mm) and
• "It's
A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World".
2000-2001:
• "Cleopatra"
• "West Side
Story"
• "Gone With The Wind" (35mm) and
• "Oliver!".
I was also lucky to arrange the 40th anniversary of the Royal in March 2001
in the presence of the brain behind Royal: Sten Löfberg (at the age of 95).
For this we thought, why not show the film that opened the theater in 1961:
"Windjammer".
And it would only be fitting to charge the same price as 1961: SEK 4, 6 & 8.
(about 30, 45 & 60 cents). Also attending was the film's director,
Louis de
Rochemont.
Happy to be at
the Royal, he said that most movie makers never get a chance to experience
their films 40 years later, and in a sold out theatre (682 people). One of
the finest Swedish actors, Göran Stangertz read the inaugural speech from
1961. It surely was an evening to remember.

during original run of "My Fair Lady"
After that it unfortunately came to an end.
But I have missed the classics so I simply asked if I could rent the Royal
for my birthday-celebration next year. When I got a "yes" I started to think
what to show.
I wanted something really good and something we didn’t show then.
After some research and thinking I ended up with “My Fair Lady”.
It won 8 Academy Awards and is one of the best musicals of our time with
some fantastic actors like Audrey Hepburn, Rex Harrison, Stanley Holloway
and Gladys Cooper.

Royal
during original run of "My Fair Lady"
So, soon it’s time for another 70mm-party at the best movie theatre
in Sweden.
Please, let me know how many tickets you would like and where you would like
to sit. Royal has 22 rows. The last row is already full though.
It starts at 12n on April 29th, 2007 at the Royal on S. Tullgatan 4 in Malmö,
Sweden.
Unfortunately
Hans Braman,
the great projectionist at the Royal, has retired but we have another great
projectionist, also with lots of experience of 70mm-screenings at the Saga
in Helsingborg: Roland Håkansson.
I’m treating so the tickets are free and you’ll get coffee in the
intermission.
If you would like to congratulate me, a small sum of money would be more
than enough.
I can’t wait to see you at the ROYAL.
Sebastian
