| SCHAUBURG TODD-AO FESTIVAL NEWS |  Für jeden etwas auf dem 7. Todd-AO 70mm Festival in der Filmtheater Schauburg
By Brian Guckian
This year’s 70mm festival drew visitors from all over Europe, as well as further afield from the US. Attendees received a comprehensive souvenir programme emphasising how this is as much an educational event as it is an entertaining one, and a must for anyone who is serious about Cinema. |   Hallo Hollywood ... hier spricht Anna!
Von Anna Rudschies
Ich werfe das Gepäck in eine Ecke, ziehe mich um und haste zur Schauburg. Erst als ich vor dem handgemalten Festivalposter stehe, auf dem die wunderbaren Worte „70mm“, „Todd-AO“ und „Cinerama“ prangen, fällt die Anspannung von mir ab und verwandelt sich in pure Freude. |  Kevin Brownlow @ the Schauburg
By Thomas Hauerslev
Kevin Brownlow gave his lecture to an enthusiastic audience on a October Friday evening. The OSCAR winner was warmly welcomed by the 70mm delegates, who all enjoyed hearing about early large format presentations |  Karlsruhe Film introductions
