Willem Bouwmeester By Howard Rust Willem's role in life was defined when his dad took him to the cinema at age 14 to see Cinerama. In 1992 he discovered that NMPFT was seeking a new attraction to add to it's collection. For him the logical choice could only be Cinerama.

A
conversation with John Mitchell By Cameron Glendinning
Let's go to Australia and meet a man who has a complete 3-strip Cinerama
cinema in his garden.
It all started when he heard on the grapevine that a certain storehouse
was to be emptied.
Keith Swadkins By Howard Rust A true Cinerama enthusiast, typed, edited, a Cinerama newsletter that he posted to similarly minded enthusiasts all over the world, at his own expense. All correspondence traveled either by surface or airmail, the cost of which all came out of his own pockets.
Who
is David Coles?
At the impressionable age of 12 my mother took me to the Sydney Plaza
Theatre to see “Seven Wonders of the World” and I immediately became a
Cinerama addict - determined to find out all about this wondrous
process.
John Harvey's Cinerama Achievements Recognized By Bill Lawrence The NMPFT felt it was in place to pay tribute to John with a special award - a scroll - , thanking him for his contribution to revitalize Cinerama. Thanks to John's enthusiasm, Cinerama has again been made available to the public.
Dave
Strohmaier and Randy Gitsch - in conversation with Mark Lyndon
Cinerama’s future might evolve into a name on more than just a couple of theaters;
Cinerama could come to mean a curved screen presentation; a noticeable
distinct curved screen, perhaps not 146 degrees, but certainly more than
a marginal curved screen.

Time Traveling to the New Neon By David Joachim
"Cinerama Holiday", the second film produced in the
process, is the most cinematic and dazzling of the three features I got to
see. Yellows and greens make cameo appearances in a few scenes, but the
starring color is pink

THE ORIGIN OF
CINERAMA IN BRADFORD
CINERAMA CINEMAS
Cinerama at the Plaza By Eric White For twelve years, from 1958 until 1970, Cinerama was exhibited at
Melbourne’s Plaza theatre. It was very popular in a period when the cinema
business was struggling.
Savoy The only Cinerama venue in Finland By Rabbe Sandelin The Savoy was for a long time the biggest cinema house in Helsinki.
It was built in 1937 in central Helsinki, when some old buildings were
demolished

CINERAMA
FILM MUSIC
A
musical Journey around the World in fantastic stereophonic Cinerama Sound By Gerhard Witte
As I already owned the musical scores of several Cinerama films I thought,
"most likely a simple compilation of the scores".
My guess was wrong. This new 2-CD set is really a surprise and a listening
pleasure. It assembles the musical highlights of all 5 Cinerama travelogue
film scores together, cleverly compiled and digitally restored
from the 35mm magnetic Cinerama films.
Liner

Ladies
and Gentlemen, This is Cinerama! By Thomas Hauerslev
Cinerama's 60th anniversary is celebrated in 2012, with the digital
re-release of the original 3-strip film on Blu-ray and in selected
theatres. Cinerama premiered in 1952 and revolutionized the exhibition
industry with wide screns and 7-channel stereophonic sound
Cinemiracle/Cinerama
in Germany By Gerhard Witte
In Europe, cinemas
for 3-strip films
were only set up on
a wide scale fairly
late, that is at the
end of the 1950s and
the beginning of the
1960s. By then,
other wide-screen
methods such as
CinemaScope and
perhaps also Todd-AO
had been broadly
accepted.
Cinérama Itinérant (Itinerama)
Cinerama's Mobile Tent Theatres
By Gerhard Witte A top priority of Nicolas Reisini, CEO of Cinerama,
Inc. from '60 to '63, was
to bring 3-strip projection to the widest possible audience, above all to the
population in the countryside. Consequently, he
created in a showmanly way a portable Cinerama, the so-called "Itinerama"
which premiered in France in Mantes-la-Jolie on
Monday, 4 September 1961 – "Why go to Paris or London to experience Cinerama,
when Cinerama can come to you?!"

The Cinerama Barn By Paul Samuels Ever since I saw Cinerama in 1952, I was so deeply affected by it that I only knew that I wanted it. That event sparked my interest in photography, optics and all the rest.
