Workshop Aims |
1. To preserve the film
experience at its best, with large negative (65mm or
wide horizontal 35mm) and prints on 70mm.
2. To serve as a platform and network for everybody,
who is interested in 65/70 production, to expose
their practical ideas, thoughts, solutions, ...
3. To try and link cinematographers, producers,
exhibitors and the film industry in general to drive
the viability of production of films in this format.
4. To promote film as an important artistic tool in
the history of cinema, which can continue to be used
along with other new media.
5. To make possible, in a creative way, the return
of the "cinema event presentation" as something
unique and separate from other media.
