"The Master" in 70mm in Denmark

[Thomas Hauerslev]

Last summer in 2012, all Danish cinemas switched to digital projection. Nearly all cinemas sent their 35mm projectors to the eternal film heaven.

 

One cinema kept the 70mm projectors. "Biffen" in Aalborg ran "The Master" in 70mm in February 2013. I was there to enjoy it - and a few beers - with Orla, the manager. With my Nikon D5000 I captured a few moments of this event. Orla ran the film in 70mm once a day for two weeks.

 

Here's my video report titled "The Power of 70MM":

Very fascinating! Thank you very much. Could also go as an instructional film for projectionists: How many of them ever learned to throw in a film from the end - starting from the takeup-sprocket - when running a platter system ... and how to carefully supervise the running of the film ... ;)

The famous and excellent program cinema in Denmark shows also it's manager as experienced film expert:

a pair of DP70 in conjunction with the best platter system in market; the ST20-E, is very professional.

Mr. Nielson is cinematographer, and so we can follow and admire his carefully handlings with film and all mechanical items...

 

Congratulation for that a engaged cinema in the boring year 2013 with only few "true" panorama events!

Auch das Kino in Stege auf der Insel Mön behielt einen der beiden 70mm Projektoren. Dies ist umso erstaunlicher, da es sich nur um ein kleines Dorfkino handelt, in dem noch nie ein 70mm Film gezeigt wurde. Die Maschine ist von Cinemeccanica.

It has been MANY years since "Biografen" in Stege have shown any 70mm
