The Turner Classic Movies annual Film Festival
will screen the new major restoration of “WINDJAMMER: THE VOYAGE OF THE
CHRISTIAN RADICH”.
“WINDJAMMER: THE VOYAGE OF THE CHRISTIAN RADICH” is a one-of-a-kind true-life
adventure following the trans-Atlantic journey of a crew of young
sailors-in-training. Their 17,500 mile-long journey became the basis for the
only film ever shot in the Cinemiracle widescreen process, itself a refinement
of the tremendously popular Cinerama system, which was the 1950’s pre-cursor to
IMAX.
From a DCP source created by Cinerama Aficionado and long-time Cinerama
Restoration Team contributor Tom March, Strohmaier and restoration producer
Randy Gitsch will screen the new
digital version of the picture at Cinerama Dome
Saturday April 28th at 10AM with Leonard Maltin as host. So as the original
print advertising for the picture touted, first time viewers and returning fans
can now look forward to knowing, “The Day You’ll Never Forget is the Day You See
Windjammer”. The film will be released as a new BluRay disc on May 8th along
with the new major restoration of "This Is Cinerama". This may be the only time
to see "Windjammer" on the giant Cinerama Dome screen.
Now harkening back to the picture’s original 1958 Harrision’s Reports Exhibitors
trade journal reaction, the results of this new version are “nothing short of
magnificent”. Colors are now more saturated and vibrant. The three panels
are now more closely matched in color, and often, very often, the expansive
picture is seamless. But most importantly, the picture is now clearer, so clear
in fact that rigging lines on the ship and expressions on faces are now more
realistic and pleasing. But even visual minutiae like buttons on shirts and
laces on shoes are now omnipresent and relevant. From what had at times in the
2011 version seemed like animated painting, a true documentary motion picture
has now emerged with all the clarity of the Cinemiracle three lens capture. This
is the way the picture looked in 1958.
Tickets are $20. with a chance to win some Cinerama releases courtesy of Flicker
Alley.
