It may still be little way off, but Widescreen Weekend 2015 is starting to beckon. We’re delighted to say it will continue to tell the story of film through boundary-pushing technology and a myriad of spectacularly large format films that you won’t see anywhere else. This year’s event at the National Media Museum celebrates the 60th anniversary of the Todd-AO widescreen system with a showing of the first film made using the process – Rodgers and Hammerstein’s award-winning Oklahoma! (1955). And it wouldn’t be Widescreen Weekend without our world-renowned Cinerama screen – we’ll be showing the European premiere of the digitally restored The Best of Cinerama (1962), meticulously handled by filmmaker and restoration expert David Strohmaier, who will be in attendance. This makes our Cinerama repertoire complete, as it is the only Cinerama film yet to be shown on Pictureville’s deeply curved screen. In addition, arguably the most popular of all the Cinerama films returns for a dynamic three-projector performance as we showcase How The West Was Won from a dazzling authentic print (1962). The curved screen will also play host to Stanley Kubrick’s landmark sci-fi epic 2OO1: A Space Odyssey (1968). See it in 70mm – the only way it should be seen! Following its inception last year, the Museum continues its collaboration with BKSTS The International Moving Image Society as we again host the Student Widescreen Film of the Year Competition, encouraging film schools to promote the unparalleled aesthetics and production values of widescreen filmmaking. WSW 2015, the 19th edition of the event, will continue to fulfil everyone’s passion for the best in large format filmmaking and cinema exhibition – the best is yet to come! • Douglas Trumbull's "Silent Running" screens in Bradford • 2015 Widescreen Weekend Introduction • Douglas Trumbull • Wide Screen Weekend 2015 • Widescreen Weekend 2015 / Widescreen 2016 • The Magic of Large Format Cinema 15.10.2015 11:00 An Introduction to Cinerama and Widescreen Cinema 18:00 Opening Night Delegate Reception (Kodak Gallery) 19:00 Oklahoma!
