foyer photographed by Orla Nielsen, 24. June 2010It is with great pleasure that Biffen, can present the remastered version of Louis de Rochemont's CineMiracle Adventure "Windjammer" for 4 days in July 2010. In connection with the Tall Ship Race festival in our harbour (next to the Biffen), we are pleased to welcome "Windjammer" back to Aalborg, where it originally opened in 1959. "Windjammer" is a travelogue about the Norwegian school ship "Christian Radich". Filmed in Cinemiracle and produced by legendary Louis de Rochemont. "Windjammer" was a colossal success when it was released, and it was seen by millions of people all over the world. Many of them still remember the film vividly. "Windjammer" was photographed in the unique process called Cinemiracle, a "first-person-experience", which, combined with 7-channel Hi-Fi stereo sound, gave the spectator a very realistic sensation of being "in the movie". | More in 70mm reading: "Windjammer" Press Release Oslo's Red Carpet Widescreen Event In Danish: "Windjammer" in Aalborg Biffen, Aalborg The "Windjammer" Page Internet link: Biffen |
 Cinema
ovner Mr. Orla Nielsen and his posterThe Cinemiracle process was a unique photographic technique for filming a 146 degree wide image on three separate film strips (panels). In the cinema, the three panels were projected side-by-side by three synchronized projectors on the huge curved screen to form a perfect wide vista. This edition of “Windjammer” is a digital version, where all three panels are shown from one projector on Biffen's curved screen We are also welcoming Carin-Anne and David Strohmaier to Aalborg, who will be with us giving the introduction to the film "How Windjammer Got a Facelift". Thanks to Pacific Theatres and John Sittig | |
