Dear Mr. 70mm,
Once again Mr CINERAMA can help you !!! Your unknown cinema is the FONIX
in Kristiansand in Norway. I own a big report about the opening of this
cinema on December 1st, 1966, in the professional monthly ZEISS IKON
IMAGES ET SON (Pictures and sound) number 78/April 1968. The curved
screen was a 19.50 m Perlux and projectors are FAVORIT 70.
I can send you copies of the report, with a short translation.
Regards.
Francois
