Each inquirer was counseled afterward in his or her own language."

Using spectacular photography to tell the story of God’s creation and His love in Christ, scriptwriter Jim Collier and director Dick Ross put together a presentation of the Gospel that touched thousands of lives."
From billygraham.org | The Artist Who Did Not Want To Paint | 07.10.1965 | State, NYC, USA | Prologue to "The Agony and the Ecstasy". 13 minutes narrated by Marvin Miller, and directed by Vincenzo Labella. Photographed by Piero Portalupi. Music by Jerry Goldsmith | "Circus" | 1973 | Chicago | Steve Kraus [11.12.2018] on Facebook:
"Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry had a theatre as part of their circus exhibit sponsored by Sears [1973]. It was shot in 5/65 turned on its side to showcase aerial wire acts. But projection was not 70; they used 16mm triple frame on a specially adapted Century projector. Film handling was with an endless loop device atop the projector. Sound was 35mm full coat on a dubber in the next room with the film running up and down over many rollers. I don’t recall the track arrangement but there were some holes punched to trigger effects like a strobe in the theatre." | CineSpace 70 | 10.08.1987 | Glen Glenn Sound, Todd-AO, Hollywood, USA | CineSpace 70 demonstration.
