Mission Statement
|
Inspired by
Mr. Willem Bouwmeester´s encouragement
"The International 70mm Association" - a promotion club for 70mm film
- was founded in 1988 by
Mr. Johan Wolthuis
in The Netherlands.
The original idea was
"Encourage film makers to produce and make new films in 65mm,
present them in 70mm with 6-track discrete digital sound on big curved screens".
"The 70mm Association Newsletter" was the "voice"
of The International 70mm Association. The magazine title was changed a
couple of
times, and "in70mm.com", is the latest incarnation of the
newsletter.

 The web site editor took
up the challenge of editing The 70mm Newsletter when Mr. Wolthuis (Holland) passed on
the task to Thomas Hauerslev
(Denmark) in late 1994.
The
magazine underwent dramatic changes since issue #1 in December 1988.
The number of
pages tripled and from issue 36 the magazine (nearly) always only featured original
articles written exclusively
for in70mm - The 70mm Newsletter by leading writers in their
fields.
The magazine was never a commercial venture - nor was it
intended to be. It had a lot of fans and the number of
subscribers
climaxed in 2000. The last issue was published in the fall of 2001 when the editor decided to stop for a number of reasons.
Special edition issues #68 - #70 have been made for the
Widescreen Weekend.
For 7 years, when the magazine was produced regularly, it was edited and published in Copenhagen.
It didn't change a world, but it was a player on the international scene of 70mm film
fans.
