Technical & Scientific Achievement Award for his
Magellan 65 large format camera. On stage at
The Regent Street Cinema, in London at the 88th Annual Awards Ceremony and
Bernard Happé Lecture in London, Tuesday evening, February 19. Picture by
Bill Lawrence, in70mm.com
Just three years younger than the over hyped Oscars and blissfully free of
sobbing thespians, the 88th International Moving Image Society Awards took place
on February 19th in the very birthplace of cinema in the UK - The Regent Street
Cinema. Beautifully restored to its former glory, this magnificent Cinema was a
fitting venue for an important ceremony.
The two categories of most interest to 70mm enthusiasts were the Technical &
Scientific Award and the top Category - The Lifetime Achievement Award. The Magellan 65mm
Camera, the most significant development in cinematography for
some years, richly deserved the Technical & Scientific Award. It was heartening
to see Tommy Madsen, the man behind the camera, for its very creation,
receive the Award in person; having travelled from Denmark, specifically for the
Ceremony. He gave an excellent acceptance speech, which was well received by the
high powered audience.
Christopher Nolan, who received a CBE in the New Years Honours List, after he
was selected for the IMIS Lifetime Achievement Award, nota bene, is now
recognised as the World Champion of 70mm film production and exhibition. Having
given the world “Interstellar” and
"Dunkirk" and a brand new print
of "2OO1: A Space Odyssey"; Christopher Nolan is now busy on a new
project. He was clearly delighted to receive the Award and his acceptance speech
was read out by his namesake Sir Christopher Frayling the world renowned
Cultural Historian and highly distinguished Academic. It was a night to
remember.

Madsen with the Technical & Scientific Achievement Award, helped by Orla

PS: Hoyte van Hoytema the fabled Director of Photography of "Interstellar"
and "Dunkirk" is a very enthusiastic champion of - you've guessed it -
The Magellan 65mm Camera.
Tommy's Talk:
It's with great honour and pride
that I stand before you here today receiving this award for our Magellan
65mm camera. It all started out in a much smaller format called Super 8
almost ten years ago with the creation of our pin registered Chatham S-8
camera which at the time was the first new Super 8 camera in 30 years.
In 2016 we sold our 8mm intellectual property rights to Kodak and
decided to pursue 65mm as that format had been under served for years.
We set out to create the lightest and most advanced film camera with
today’s technology called the Magellan. With a weight of only 13kg and a
size smaller than anything else available we can support both drone and
steady cam operation without breaking anyone's back. Today we are
witnessing a resurgence of film and I hope that we will only see more
movies made on film in the future - preferably shot on the Magellan in
65mm, of cause ;-)
I would like to thank I-M-I-S for this award and my colleagues Orla,
Rodolfo and Lasse as well as friends and family who believed in us
throughout this journey.

Danish camera designer Tommy Madsen accepted the Technical & Scientific
