We have launched the 11th instalment of the “Todd-AO 70mm Festival“ to be held from 9 - 11 October 2015 at the Schauburg Cinerama in Karlsruhe, Germany. For three days in October Filmtheater Schauburg celebrates the world of LARGE FORMAT film, by offering a series of epic films in 70mm.
"Inherent Vice"
"Interstellar"
"The Great Race"
"In den Schuhen des Fischers"
"Battle of the Bulge"
"Signale - Ein Weltraumabenteuer"
"Vertigo"
"Tschaikowski"
"Camelot - Am Hofe König Arthurs"
"Alien3"
"Let's Spend the Night Together"
We are proud to present the latest 70mm films and a some 70mm film classics which all proudly carry the names of large format film: DEFA 70, VistaVision, Sovscope 70, Panavision, IMAX and Ultra Panavision 70. We feel our 2015 program has it all: Space adventures, Musical, Drama, War, Nazis, Religion, Music, Songs, Mystery, Cars, Chases, Panzer, Adventure, Revenge and true love. Bring your family, your children, your grand mother to see the films again in a big cinema. Some films are in their original English versions and some "70mm Vintage Classics", are dubbed into German. Due to the age of the prints, many have lost their color and are faded. But they are ORIGINAL premiere 70mm prints from the 1960s.
"Todd-AO Festival" policy is simple, NO DIGITAL! That is our Todd-AO Festival hall mark, as we honour 60 years of 70mm projectionist tradition, and present film as they were meant to be presented, on genuine 70MM film. One of very few original cinemas, still equipped with 70mm projectors. The huge screen is 18 meters wide, curved and covered by a "Cinerama red" curtain. It’s the perfect framework to present 70mm in the splendour of 6-track magnetic sound.

It's not so obvious when you say for yourself:

You also mention "Panavision", which in itself is not a format. Yeah, anybody (at least around here) can guess that your projector won't handle 15/70 IMAX, but why list it as one of the formats being presented?
Anyway, I still wish you all the luck and if you present the non-dubbed version of those movies, I might even show up on the doorstep. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

Truck Art Installation Gets Parking Ticket in Karlsruhe
By M. Alex Johnson
European news outlets and social media blew up this week after a parking warden in the German city of Karlsruhe issued a 30-euro parking ticket to an art installation of a truck bending itself up the wall of the city's famous technology and media museum.
The ticket was reported indignantly by a variety of European news outlets, and the warden was blasted online for being "pedantic" and "humorless" after pictures of the red Mercedes-Benz truck were published with the ticket tucked neatly under a windshield wiper — even though the truck is bent 90 degrees with its back half rising in the air.
The museum, the Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie (Center for Art and Technology in Media), said it had persuaded the Oberbürgermeister, or mayor, of Karlsruhe to appeal the fine after it asked the artist, the Austrian conceptual sculptor Erwin Wurm, to pay it.
The citation was for “Gross Violation of Physical Laws.”
Commenters and art critics debated the meaning of the ticket. "It is only complete with the ticket. It shows that art is alive and real," one wrote on the museum's Facebook page, adding: "Without the ticket, the object would die."
"This is living art!" another wrote. A third remarked that Wurm was fortunate he wasn't "prosecuted for illegal vehicle modifications."
But the Berlin newspaper Der Tagesspiegel revealed the secret this week: "This was meant all along as a joke" as part of Karlsruhe's celebration of the 300th anniversary of the founding of Karlsruhe, a city spokesperson said. The warden printed a fake ticket in coordination with the city clerk's office, which then deleted it.
After the gag was blown, a spokeswoman for the museum told the newspaper: "We think it's great. It's good when the fine leaders of this city think for themselves artistically."
