An organization of film professionals and amateur enthusiasts, the International Cinerama Society is dedicated to the preservation of this unique motion picture process and its films. A major element of United States popular culture in the 1950s and early 1960s, Cinerama has virtually vanished without a trace, unseen by the public in its original form for almost thirty years.

Under the auspices of the ICS, Cinerama has been saved from extinction with the opening of the Pictureville Cinerama Theatre and Museum at the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England.

Now, the ICS has the goal off creating a similar Cinerama Theatre and Museum in the United States, where the process was invented. Philanthropic support and a suitable museum venue to incorporate the theatre are currently being sought. Through this act of historic preservation, new generations of Americans could experience the wonder of Cinerama.
