Can anyone recommend some 70mm cinemas to see in Rome, Italy?

Any other must-see movie attractions in Rome?

Anything but cinemas and cinema stuff. There is 2500 years of history to see in Rome, so much that you can't even scratch the surface when you are there for a short time. You can see cinemas in many other places which don't have that much to offer. Apart from the typical sites like the Forum Romanum and Colosseum, the Vatican and the Spanish Stairs (all these were featured in many, many films, either as they are today or as reconstructions in historical dramas, so you can satisfy your nerdy side by thinking about that), my tips would be to go and see some of the Catacombs. These are massively interesting and very mysterious. There are several complexes which are all a little outside the center, but easy to reach. I went to see the Catacombs of San Calisto which were very eerie and impressive.
Well, you could also go to Cinecittà, that would actually be much less nerdy than looking at cinemas, and still film relevant. It is just outside Rome but I think there is a subway line which goes directly there. I don't know if they have any tours and stuff, but I am sure you can find out easily on the WWW.

quote:
Nel 2005 abbiamo avuto la conferma di un trend positivo per il mondo della pellicola che solo apparentemente è sorprendente. Infatti: pur essendo il formato 35mm in parziale calo rispetto all’anno scorso a causa della ridotta produzione cinematografica, il Super 16mm, dal canto suo, mediante le nuove rivoluzionarie pellicole Vision2, ha conosciuto una seconda giovinezza, grazie all’inarrestabile ascesa della fiction televisiva.

Il mondo della pubblicità da parte sua ha vissuto un periodo di stabilità; il numero di lavori complessivi non si è discostato, sostanzialmente, dai valori del 2004. In definitiva: un 2005 con luci ed ombre per il mondo dell’audiovisivo.

Il nostro auspicio è che ci aspetti un 2006 in ripresa, in cui finalmente soprattutto il cinema nazionale possa usufruire di fonti finanziarie adeguate per permetterne la definitiva trasformazione da artigianato ad industria – in un momento in cui l’appeal del nostro cinema nelle sale è in netta crescita rispetto agli anni scorsi.

Per Kodak, due annunci da fare: il primo è che “La famiglia ormai è completa”. Difatti, con la recente introduzione della straordinaria Vision2 50D 5/7201 i filmmakers possono oggi scegliere tra ben sei stock della famiglia Vision2 e continuare quindi a guardare a questa tavolozza di colori come il migliore mezzo espressivo esistente. Contestualmente, vi confermiamo che continueremo ad esservi vicini nel mondo ibrido, dopo i vostri importanti consensi ai sistemi da noi introdotti, come il TCS, il KLMS ed il KDM. Presto sveleremo alcune novità al riguardo, ma intanto... buona lettura!
