| | Three Panel Cinerama at the Centennial Planetarium in Calgary | Read more at in70mm.com The 70mm Newsletter
| Written and photographed by: Tom H March, Calgary, Canada | Date: 09.07.2024 | Presented in original three projection Cinerama by the Calgary Cinematheque Society.
Beginning July 6 and for ten days, Calgary hosts the Calgary Stampede celebrations every year. This year as part of the Stampede festivities, the Calgary Cinematheque Society presented "How The West Was Won" in its original three projector / three panel format on the curved dome screen at Contemporary Calgary (formerly the Centennial Planetarium).
This is the first time a three panel Cinerama public screening has ever been presented in Calgary and I was invited by Ben Rowe, Programming Coordinator of Calgary Cinematheque to attend this special event.
Contemporary Calgary, formerly The Centennial Planetarium, with its domed ceiling and seating for 218 + 6 accessible locations, has technology allowing it to be used as a full projection screen.
A digital print of the movie and some digital trickery to adjust the image made it all happen. Warping software with each projector ensured that the three Cinerama panels joined up perfectly. The audience was seated and Ben introduced the movie in true Cinerama Dome fashion.
It was a single screening of "How the West was Won" so it was not only the first three Panel Cinerama screening in Calgary, it was the only one. | More in 70mm reading:
