One of the first films to be screened will be "Patten:Lust For Glory" in it's original 70mm Dimension D150 format!. There is still time to buy tickets for the Bradford Film Festival and Widscreen Weekend to witness this unique occasion. www.bradfordfilmfestival.org.uk Festival information & tickets line ++44 1274 202030  |  IP: Logged Gerard S.

"Porgy and Bess" in Todd-AO. See this link. The machine was donated to the museum (November 1998) in Bradford by Nordisk Film, my company here in Copenhagen. See this link. I look forward to see the result next Friday. ------------------ Cheers, Thomas ..in70mm - The 70mm Newsletter www.in70mm.com www.dp70.com www.70mm.dk www.hauerslev.com http://hjem.get2net.dk/in70mm  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 03-09-2002 12:41 AM                    Wasn't there a 35/70 machine there before? What did this one replace? Are you using the Super Curvulon or more modern optics? BTW, I can't help a little nitpicking: The word "its" only gets an apostrophe when it's (<--see) a contraction of "it is." A simple possessive would just be "its" without one, just like his and hers don't have one either.  |  IP: Logged Thomas Hauerslev Master Film Handler Posts: 451 From: Copenhagen, Denmark Registered: Aug 2000 posted 03-09-2002 04:25 AM                        The DP70 replaced the 16mm. The Vic 8 is still there. The D-150 lens is there curtesy of Dick Vetter. ------------------ Cheers, Thomas ..in70mm - The 70mm Newsletter www.in70mm.com www.dp70.com www.70mm.dk www.hauerslev.com http://hjem.get2net.dk/in70mm  |  IP: Logged Dick Vaughan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1032 From: Bradford, West Yorkshire, UK Registered: Jul 2000 posted 03-09-2002 05:24 AM                        Steve The DP70 is lined up for projection on to the Cinerama screen.
