Very good Albert, I will use your information in my report from Berlin. Maybe I will meet you next week? My daughter Maria (named after Maria in "The Sound of Music" of course) and I will be in Berlin Sun - Wed to see some Russian 70mm films and taste the local beer. You are all welcome to send me reports from the 70mm Restrospective send to: thomas@in70mm.com or mr_in70mm@hotmail.com Best from Thomas

How many 70mm cinemas have Berlin had since the beginning in the 1950? How many cinemas are left today in Berlin with full 70mm working equipment? How many cinemas (if any at all) does regular 70mm presentations in Berlin today?

Is there anyone on this forum who would be interested in writing "The Pyrcon UP 700 Story" for in70mm com, please? Should be in German and English. Doesn't have to be long (but can be), 2-3 pages with facts about the machine, a list of installations, how many were (where and when) manufactured, exported models, etc. A list of cinemas, brochures, and some images would be good reading for readers of the in70mm web site. Maybe there are still some people out there who actually worked in the factory who would be willing to do an interview.

Looking forward to Berlin. My first visit to the city. On the invitation of the Deutsche Kinemathek/Berlinale. Special thanks to Connie Betz for that. Brave girl. Fantastic program they have organized. A lot of work have gone into it. I hope many Berliners will go and see the 70mm films and tell their friends. This is the opportunity to see something rare and unique. And I understand from heated discussion here on the forum they are installing DP70s at the International. Isn't that marvellous to honor the OSCAR winning Todd-AO projector in this way? Not only a historic machine, but also a nod to the picture quality it represents. They have good taste at the International and a clear sence of what is needed to make the picture look good and secure stability during such a prestigious festival. I will have to update the web site once I get the serial numbers. Please inform me of corrections to the DP70 list, as I have not updated in years

Yes, don't forget Bradford in March in the classic (Thursday evening) Friday-Monday format. We have a nice weekend program. I look forward to seeing you there.

Thank you to Herbert who have posted the information about the upcoming 70mm festivals. I'm very please to see so many planned for 2009. It has been one of the targets with The 70mm Newsletter and in70mm com - to promote 70mm screenings and raise awarenes and interest for 70mm films. Thanks to everyone on the Filmvorfuerer Forum for supporting 70mm in the cool Schauburg Cinerama in Karlsruhe and elsewhere. Keep up the good work! Even in Copenhagen is 70mm shown for the second year in 2009 at the Imperial Bio, and tickets are available. See in70mm com for details

Hi everyone, I hope to see some of you soon in Karlsruhe for The 3rd 70mm Festival.
