 Gartenbau
Kino in Vienna, with its lavishly designed cinema hall and one
of the largest projection screens in town, has awaked from a long, deep
70mm slumber period (1994 – 2016), during which no single 70 mm
presentation took place in Vienna. Until the time around 1974 the town
of „Wien“ offered 70 mm shows in several cinemas: Forum, Kosmos, Tabor,
Apollo, and during the sixties and seventies Gartenbau-Kino used to be
one of the leading premiere cinemas of Vienna. |

 Unfortunately from 1994
onwards, 70mm presentations were banished in whole Vienna, because they
were too costly and too complex. The success of the Ultra-Panavision 70
presentation of
„The Hateful Eight“ in December 2015 until
February 2016 was the catalyst for a new era in Vienna cinema history
– thanks to the experts from Karlsruhe who have helped our Viennese
cinema carriers to install the necessary 70mm technical equipment for
light and sound! |

 The new conditions resulted in 2 spectacular 70mm programmes of classic
epic movies : „Spartacus“ on 09.10.2016 in
Super Technirama 70
(Restored version from 1991 to be introducted by film historian Mr.
Jean-Pierre Gutzeit) and
„2OO1: A Space Odyssey“ in Super
Panavision 70 on 14.10.2016! Other 70mm titles will follow soon –
let's
hope so! |
