The 70mm Newsletter

MISSION STATEMENT

Premiere 70MM NEWSLETTER issue #1 in 1988 from The International 70mm Association

Inspired by Mr. Willem Bouwmeester's encouragement "The International 70mm Association" - a promotion club for 70mm film - was founded in 1988 by Mr. Johan Wolthuis in The Netherlands.

The original idea was

"Encourage film makers to produce and make new films in 65mm, present them in 70mm with 6-track discrete digital sound on big curved screens".

"The 70mm Association Newsletter" was the "voice" of The International 70mm Association. The magazine title was changed a couple of times, and "in70mm.com", is the latest incarnation of the newsletter.

The 70mm Newsletter Issue 1

THE 70MM NEWSLETTER

Issue 1 - 35 was published and edited by Johan C M Wolthuis 1988 - 1994. The web site editor took up the challenge of editing The 70mm Newsletter when Mr. Wolthuis (Holland) passed on the task to Thomas Hauerslev (Denmark) in late 1994.

The magazine underwent dramatic changes since issue #1 in December 1988. The number of pages tripled and from issue 36 the magazine (nearly) always only featured original articles written exclusively for in70mm - The 70mm Newsletter by leading writers in their fields. Issue 36 - 70 was published and edited by Thomas Hauerslev 1994 - 2005

The magazine was never a commercial venture - nor was it intended to be. It had a lot of fans and the number of subscribers climaxed in 2000. The last issue was published in the fall of 2001 when the editor decided to stop for a number of reasons. Special edition issues #68 - #70 have been made for the Widescreen Weekend.

For 7 years, when the magazine was produced regularly, it was edited and published in Copenhagen. It didn't change a world, but it was a player on the international scene of 70mm film fans.
