Welcome to the 9th Todd-AO festival at the Schauburg Cinerama in
Karlsruhe. The international 70mm Film Festival, which celebrates LARGE
format films as they were meant to be seen: IN 70MM on the CURVED
screen. Our festival is where everything is larger, better, brighter,
richer, sharper and crisper and has more WOW! than anything else you can
see in cinemas.
Are you ready? Let's play the five tones. "Re, Mi, Do, Do, So" - so
begins John William's concert for UFOs seen in Steven Spielberg's "Close
Encounters of the Third Kind" from 1977. A story set in middle America
about ordinary people, exposed to extraordinary circumstances. Human
drama where we – the audience - can be involved. We can laugh, or cry,
that's what
drives a good film. Sometimes the story works well, and sometimes it
doesn’t. It is not always easy to predict if a film will be a hit or a
flop, but one thing is for sure, we show our films regardless, because
they are in 70mm.

We'll
all
go on a magical journey to explore the deep blue waters of the
Mediterranean with Jean Reno and Jean-Marc Barr in blazing Dolby Stereo.
Listen to the wonderful gay waltzes by Johann Strauss in a film which is
nearly forgotten - was it a flop? Be exposed to genuine Cold War / Iron
Curtain propaganda in DDR's most expensive documentary ever filmed in DEFA 70mm. Go to Khartoum with Charlton Heston and see what happened in
Ultra Panavision! If the African heat is too much for you, fly with
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang to Vulgaria and visit "Baron Bomburst" and his
court - filmed locally at Neuschwanstein Castle. If you like dancing,
Stanley Donen and his merry team of free-styling dancers will teach you
how to build a barn - set against seven Hollywood virgins and nicely
painted backgrounds in Anscocolor and CinemaScope. See the wonders without
glasses! Was DEFA 70 really the biggest mistake of the former East
German film industry? Judge for yourself with Orpheus and Goya in
glorious Orwocolor. Live out your dreams. Be an emperor, slave or
gladiator for the evening. "I'm Spartacus!" - There is not a dry eye in
the house when one of film history’s most famous lines is spoken to
Alex North's beautiful music. All unique weekend moments in full
stereophonic sound.

Presenting
70mm is not done without human expertise or skills. The heavy 70mm reels
and delicate film material is masterfully handled by the projectionist.
Since the birth of the cinema more than 100 years ago, projectionists
have been working tirelessly behind the scenes, making sure the pictures
are IN FOCUS and the sound is perfect. In recent years the projectionist
is largely made redundant in commercial cinemas, as digital projector technology gradually has
been introduced for projection. But at the Schauburg we proudly still have our own
skilled Projectionists with the necessary knowledge and craftsmanship to
make every 70mm performance unforgettable.
…and now, "Gong", start projector, cue curtain, dim the lights, open
dowser, focus, check sound.....the show is running.........another
unforgettable weekend at the Schauburg!

Thomas Hauerslev
