The Passing of Orion Jardim de Faria
Brazil's 70mm Projector Pioneer Passed Away 26. December 2012 |

Mr. Orion Jardim de Faria, at ease in his home in São Paulo.
Picture taken by Paulo R. Elias.
Brazilian 70mm film pioneer Orion Jardim de Faria passed away on December
25th 2012. One would have anticipated his passing due to a severe heart
condition he endured for many years.
Notwithstanding, he was living an active, still film-dedicated personal
life. A movie lover himself, his profound knowledge of every aspect of film
making and exhibition made his acquaintance with new technology far easier.

I last met him in a small resort in São Paulo where he decided to retire
from the constantly busy and polluted city centre of that state. He had
built a home theatre using some of his former brand components, such as
Dolby decoders and the like. Orion survived a son that worked for Dolby Labs
in the US, so he knew the basis of that technology for theatrical alignment
purposes.
I met Orion de Faria and had the honour to be granted an interview with him
on May 2010, part of which was published on both in70mm and Webinsider
sites.
Sadly, we both lived miles apart, so it was difficult to see each other
personally. To me and perhaps to the film community of this country his
departure is a significant loss, and I sincerely hope that his memory will
endure so that newer generations may be aware of his contributions and
devotion to the industry in this country.
