Author Topic: "Baraka" in 70mm Thomas Hauerslev Master Film Handler Posts: 451 From: Copenhagen, Denmark Registered: Aug 2000 posted 08-07-2000 05:07 AM                        This is not an advert, although some might think so, but "Baraka" is shown in Todd-AO in Copenhagen (Denmark) in a swim bath 9 times in August. This is very unusual of course, but none the less very exiting. The audience is sitting on small chairs with water all around them, while the film is shown in 70mm on a 13 meter flat screen. Projector is a Philips DP75 and the lens is a 87,5mm ISCO T-Kiptagon. Stunning images!!!! there´s more here: http://www.aok.dk/E/M/CPHDK/0000/03/66/ and here at my own web site about future 70mm film screenings: http://hjem.get2net.dk/in70mm/magazine/screenings.htm All the best, Thomas Hauerslev  |  IP: Logged Martin Frandsen Master Film Handler Posts: 270 From: Denmark, Europe Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-07-2000 07:19 AM                     Baraka is one hell of a sweet thing! if you haven't seen it you should if it's avalibel in your area. I have seen it many times because it's one of the very few 70mm titels avalibel in Denmark for rental.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-08-2000 11:05 AM                     DOes anyone know if there is a good 70mm print in the US?

One of the producers of the film was there to do a Q&A in the lobby afterward. You might try contacting Dennis Bartok, the Cinematheque's programmer to see how he booked that print. His email address is on their site at: http://www.americancinematheque.com/ Paul, OOF SMPTE (and American Cinematheque member)  |  IP: Logged David Johnson Film Handler Posts: 54 From: Melbourne Vict Australia Registered: Oct 1999 posted 08-09-2000 04:03 AM                     How do you EQ a swiming baths?  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-09-2000 09:46 AM                     To eq a bath you order the R2 hydrophone multiplexer kit.  |  IP: Logged Thomas Hauerslev Master Film Handler Posts: 451 From: Copenhagen, Denmark Registered: Aug 2000 posted 08-09-2000 04:12 PM                        Or wear shorts, goggles and an under water Abacus while you hold your breath, of course the best of wishes, thomas  |  IP: Logged
