I
particularly liked the "A
Picture Visit to Kinopanorama in Paris, 1990" by Thomas Hauerslev put on
line in 2014. The inside pictures were great especially the giant curved
screen, such pictures I could not make myself on that time because I had not
the appropriate materiel. I would like to join him by sharing my own
memories of this unique theater with some pictures of the front.
My first movie at the Kinopanorama
was "Lawrence of Arabia" and my first in 70mm, a real discovery and
experience, in January 1975, followed by about forty more memorable visits
(including “West Side Story”- a few times, “El Cid”, “War
and Peace”, “The Sound of Music”, “My Fair Lady”,
“Lawrence of Arabia” restoration ...) until December 1989 with
“Indiana Jones and the last Crusade”.
The including photos are from the years 1975-1979, lucky period of these
70mm reissues.
However the blow-ups like “The Wild Bunch”, “The Dirty Dozen”,
“Earthquake” in Sensurround, “Alien”, “Star Trek II”,
“Greystoke”, “The Rose”, “2010”, “Octopussy”,
“E.T.”, “La Guerre du Feu” were all unforgettable experiences
too.

Other
major and significant theatre dedicated to the widescreen 70mm was the
Broadway which was opened by one of the managers of the Kinopanorama the
first April 1977 with the process "Spaciovision" on his large curved screen
given for 380m2. The "Spaciovision" (other name was Super-Heraclorama)
offered some Sensations of relief (picture in space) from any kind of film.
My first movie was “Alamo” followed by about fifteen others likes
“Patton”, “Khartoum”, “The Omen”, “Voyage to the Center
of the Earth”, “Star Wars”, “2001: A Space Odyssey”. The
including pictures are from April 1977 to October 1979.
Before the Kinopanorama I only knew the cinémas from Strasbourg, Metz,
Nancy. Most of their best theatres have been transformed or will be, so
January 1975 and the 70mm were significant for me. Some original widescreen
theatres remain like the Schauburg
Cinerama in Karlsruhe. That's why I like this
theatre very much because he is reminiscent to the Kinopanorama and we must
thank the manager Herbert Born to have preserve his theatre.
