Author Topic: "Cinerama " in NZ 1980's? Dick Vaughan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1032 From: Bradford, West Yorkshire, UK Registered: Jul 2000 posted 08-16-2004 06:19 AM                        Can any one from South of the Equator shed any light on this enquiry on our Widescreen Forum Christchurch Cinerama NZ 80's Cinerama show Name: Roloff, From: Amsterdam, Posted: 04/08/04 Did you know there was a 'Cinerama' show in the Eighties in Christenchurch(sic), New Zealand, appearently named "This is NZ". It was projected with 3 Japanese Toshiba TP10 projectors. I don't know if they were modified (for 6-perf pulldown). Sounds exciting, doesn't it? Who has more info?  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 08-16-2004 08:21 AM                    I would bet it was some sort of triptych show but not "real" Cinerama. Do you mean the "NZ" literally? Because a web search comes up with this: quote: This is New Zealand, a short film made for the World Expo in 1970 was extremely popular there and subsequently screened in New Zealand cinemas, to much public acclaim.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 08-16-2004 10:25 AM                        http://www.memoryline.co.nz/about.html quote: Hugh Macdonald Producer/Director Hugh directed many historical and social films including "After Ninety Years" and "This is New Zealand" the three screen film for Expo 70 in Japan. He has also directed many short films for the tourist market. Hugh also produces films and videos for the dairy industry  |  IP: Logged
