70MM is a Pretty Good Reason -
Foreword for 2016 |
 7OMM
allerdings ein verdammt guter Grund
Von Thomas Hauerslev
Für die Leser
dieser Festivalbroschüre sind 7OMM allerdings ein verdammt guter
Grund. Um dem Slogan aus „The Hateful Eight“ von Quentin
Tarantino gerecht zu werden, habe ich sie für das 12.
Todd-AO-Festival etwas überarbeitet. Natürlich gibt es eine
ganze Reihe guter Gründe, um die schöne Stadt Karlsruhe zu
besuchen, für uns Festivalbesucher ist jedoch nichts so wichtig
wie 7OMM |
70MM
is a Pretty Good Reason - Foreword for 2016
By Thomas Hauerslev
For the readers of
this Festival Brochure, 7OMM
is a pretty good reason. To honor the catch phrase from
Quentin Tarantino's "The Hateful Eight", I have re-written it
mildly for the 12th Todd-AO Festival. Of course, there are
plenty of good reasons for going to the beautiful city of
Karlsruhe, but for we festival guests, nothing matters like 7OMM |
Todd-AO
Festival Film Introductions, 2016
By Wolfram
Hannemann
On this weekend I
would like to invite you to Minnie's Haberdashery, which the Hateful
Eight will turn into a Little Shop of Horrors during the course of an
evening, while some Gorillas in the Mist are tracked down by Dick Tracy
during his Hunt for Red October.

"2OO1"
& Jan Harlan goes to Karlsruhe
By Thomas Hauerslev
Jan Harlan will introduce a digital screening of "2OO1: A Space Odyssey" on
September 29th, at the Schauburg. Jan have flown over from London especially
to be with us that night. Throughout the weekend, we are quite sure, that
"2OO1" in 2K, surely will be a topic of passionate discussions among the
audience and 7OMM fans alike. Hopefully there will be no extremely odd
things going on, and "2OO1" will look and sound better than ever. Please
welcome Jan Harlan with us at the Schauburg.

What
7OMM is to Johan Wolthuis
By Thomas Hauerslev
Johann Wolthuis has been crucially instrumental in reviving world wide
interest in 70mm. Indeed, it is no exaggeration to say that there might not
have been the same level of awareness and appreciation of the 70mm format
without his tireless dedication, advocacy and enthusiasm, which goes back
for over three decades. We who love 70mm and see it as the greatest and
grandest medium for the moving image of them all, owe him a great deal. He
speaks most eloquently for us all. |
Some
notes from Karlsruhe
By Anders M Olsson
Last time I was in Karlsruhe, two
years ago, was very heavy on German films and German dubbed prints. This
year they were back to their usual mix of German and English prints. I have
no problem to sit through a film dubbed in German, even though I don't
understand it all. If it's a good film that I haven't seen before, it only
means that I'll have to revisit it later on, on DVD or Blu-ray. |
 The Widest Story Ever Told
Von Christian Appelt
Am 12. Oktober 1956 präsentierte MGM Camera 65 im Rahmen
der SMPTE-Konferenz in einer Demonstrationsvorführung. Douglas
Shearer und Robert Gottschalk von Panavision stellten die
Flexibilität des Formats heraus. “Vom Standpunkt des Produzenten
aus ist die Wahlmöglichkeit des endgültigen Verleihformats
einer der Vorzüge dieses 65-mm-Verfahrens” |

70MM
at the Schauburg. Todd-AO Festival Report
By Thomas Hauerslev
Every year in October a group of around 200 people meet in a cinema in
Baden-Württemberg, in the south of Germany. A large part of the audience
comes from Germany of course, but there are guests from all over Europe, the
United States and as far away as Japan. What are they doing? They are
watching classic 70MM films, many of which they often have seen many times
before. |
The music of
BENJAMIN FRANKEL
By Udo Heimansberg
The music for BATTLE OF THE
BULGE was his only score recorded in full stereophonic sound- and also his
last one! In 1967 Warner records published a soundtrack album featuring the
original recordings, but only about 40 minutes of music, including the
infamous “Tank Men's Song”. The LP quickly disappeared, became a collector's
item sold at high prices. There was a Japanese Vinyl re-issue in the 80s and
a CD in the 90s, also from Japan. Beside a long playing record of “THE NIGHT
OF THE IGUANA” no other works by Benjamin Frankel were available- until
1998! |

 Ken
Annakin. Director in Todd-AO and Ultra Panavision 70
Von Thomas Hauerslev
Doch was die
Entscheidung angeht, die „Fliegenden Kisten“ in Todd-AO zu drehen, so war dies
einfach die logische Wahl. Es war damals das größte Filmformat und ich wusste,
dass ich die Leinwand mit vielen Menschen und Flugzeugen füllen wollte. Wirklich
beeindruckend sind nun diese winzigen Flugzeuge in einem riesigen leeren Himmel,
und das erreicht man nur mit 70mm. |
"Push
the button Max!"
By Thomas
Hauerslev
All this in 70MM would not be the same without the
Schauburg with its rich history, red curtains and curved screen. From
the box-office lady
who welcomes you in
a friendly voice, to
the rare GONG before
the film begins, or
the exhibited DP70
projector in the
foyer. |
 "Drück
aufs Knöpfchen,
Max!“
Von Thomas
Hauerslev
All dies in 70mm wäre nicht dasselbe ohne die Schauburg mit ihrer
ereignisreichen Vergangenheit, den roten Vorhängen und der gekrümmten
Leinwand. Von der Dame an der Kasse, die sie freundlich begrüßt, bis zum
seltenen GONG zu Vorführungsbeginn oder dem ausgestellten DP70-Projektor
im Foyer. |
Todd-AO
Festival Film
Introductions, 2015
By Wolfram
Hannemann
Welcome to the 11th
Todd-AO 70mm film
festival. With our
intros we want to
give our projection
team enough time to
perfectly lace up
those big, wide
rolls of film in our
DP70. Beware! It
will be one of the
most colourful
festivals we had in
recent years. That
means that we won’t
be just treated to
red or magenta, but
to real colours –
thanks to two brand
new 70mm prints, two
Orwo prints and two
post 1982 prints.
But don’t panic: you
will also be able to
see those unique
faded prints as
well! You see, we
got everything
covered! |
"MacKenna's
Gold" at the Schauburg

Festival Preparations
By Born & Hauerslev
The Todd-AO Festival is due
to begin in a week from now. Here is a quick look behind the scenes about
all the preparations which goes into this remarkable weekend. Festival
planning actually starts a few days after the previous weekend has ended and
continues through the year. The first 70mm prints starts to arrive in early
August. Projection team are quality checking each reel of vintage 70mm film
which has been brought out of the freezers after many years in storage. |
Todd-AO
Festival 70mm Film
Intro
By Wolfram

The 10th anniversary
program features
more colors than
just the „official Todd-AO pink“. Thanks to Sovscope! Obviousely
communism was able to succeed where capitalism failed – striking 70mm prints which do not fade. However, pink
will still be very present during this weekend, in various stages. A
fact that we all have to live with. At least we still get organic
material fed into our projectors at 24 frames per second as opposed to
zeros and ones coming from a hard drive. And I am sure that this is
exactly the reason we all are here for. |

The
Greatest Show in Todd-AO: Mission Report from Karlsruhe
By Thomas Hauerslev
The Todd-AO Festival at the Schauburg is not only pretzel,
sekt, schnitzel and Hoepfner's hefewize, it is indeed
about going to the movies in style. An experience all by itself.
Seeing the films at the Schauburg like seeing the films as they were originally presented -
in a big cinema, on a a huge curved screen with red curtains and a Gong.
It's all about showmanship and presentation, and very few cinemas do
it better than the staff of the Schauburg. |
Report from The 10th Todd-AO 70mm festival in Karlsruhe
By Johan Wolthuis
The beautiful Schauburg Theatre in Karlsruhe, was the place to be for 70mm
fans from all over the world. In the first weekend of October people from
Germany, England, Switzerland, Danemark, Austria, France, Tjech Republic,
the Netherlands and even an enthousiastic film student from Japan, came
especially to visit this famous film festival. With its unique program of
famous 70mm films presented on the large curved Cinerama screen. |
"Meine
Lieder-Meine Träume"
in Germany
By
Udo Heimansberg
In the southern part of
Germany in the Frankfurt branch of 20th Century Fox
there was a guy who hated this end of the film and cut it off himself. A far
relative of Robert
Wise wrote to the producer/director
about this screening, and their reaction came immediately. The film was
completed again and there might have been only a handful of screenings at
the time. |

Todd-AO
Festival 2013 introductions
By Wolfram Hannemann
Good morning, Widescreeners! According to
our mission statement that „we will show and watch everything, provided
that it is 70mm wide“, we have prepared another fine selection of
rarities and oddities that will make your hearts jump. And to be honest:
who cares about color, anyway? The wider the image, the better it
compensates for faded colors, doesn’t it? |
Interview
with Director of Photography Peter Rohe
By Gerhard Fromm
With regards to technology it was decided from the beginning to use the 70mm
format because the film would be shown on an extremely large screen. With 6
by 18 meters the screen is almost the size of that in a drive-in, but in
comparison the auditorium inside the BMW museum is relatively small. With a
capacity of 120 visitors you are directly sitting in front of grain and
resolution.

 DP70:
Die Geschichte des Todd-AO Projektors
Von Thomas Hauerslev
Heute haben die meisten Kinos auf digitale Vorführverfahren umgestellt
und der DP70 wird - wie auch alle anderen Filmprojektoren - nur noch
selten benötigt. In den meisten Kinos haben sie nun ausgedient, es gibt
jedoch ein paar rühmliche Ausnahmen wie etwa die Schauburg oder andere
70mm-Kinos. |
DP70:
A Story of the Todd-AO Projector
By Thomas Hauerslev
Today, when most cinemas have converted to digital presentations, there is
less need for the DP70 – or any other film projector – and most of the
machines are now redundant, with notable exceptions such as the Schauburg,
and other 70mm venues. |
Interview
with Mr Hans-Kristian Bukholm

70mm really started with me when I was 14 years old and I saw David Lean’s

was a major thing for me when I decided to become a cinematographer. |

German is worse than my English. |

"The
making of" Tanakh Bibelen al-Quran
By Ole Mads Sirks Vevle
A totally new presentation, a radical shift of perspective. Instead of
focusing on the literal meaning of the text, I would focus on the
underlying structures that enable meaning to appear. |
Walter
P. Siegmund, a small bio
I
was born in Bremen, Germany in 1925. We left for New York and arrived on
September 13, 1930 and left immediately for Rochester, New York. |
"The
Last Valley" introduction
By Udo Heimansberg
“The Last Valley“ was first shown in German cinemas in 1971.
Although it had been filmed in 70mm, only 35mm copies
(Technicolor print copies!) were used to present it. |

Festival introductions
By Wolfram Hannemann
The meaning of life is 70mm wide and has 6 track
stereophonic sound! And obviously I am not the only one who
is thinking so – just look at this amazing audience! |

Grant's
Blow-Up-Tagebuch
Von Grant Lobban
Mit "Blow-up" bezeichnet man eine 70mm Kopie, die durch
optische Vergrößerung eines kleineren Formates, meistens
35mm, hergestellt wurde. |
70mm:
Nobody Does it Better
Von Thomas Hauerslev
Die offenkundige Lösung ist, einen großformatigen 70mm-Film mit seiner
gegenüber dem Standardfilm dreifachen Auflösung zu verwenden. Bei 70 mm ist
weniger Vergrößerung erforderlich, und die verbesserte Qualität ist sofort
bemerkbar. Es wird eine sehr eindrucksvolle Erfahrung für die meisten sein,
anders als alles, was sie bis dahin gesehen haben. |
70mm:
Nobody Does it Better
By Thomas Hauerslev
The obvious solution is to use large format 70mm film with its 3X times
the resolution of standard film. With 70mm, less magnification is
required and the improved quality is noticeable at once. It will be a
high-impact experience for most people, unlike anything they have seen
previously. |

TODD-AO FESTIVAL 2005 |
Schauburg
Kino & Theater
By Herbert Born
A 50th anniversary is celebrated in gigantic proportions in
October. 50 years ago Todd-AO introduced the 70mm format with its large and
sharp images, almost three dimensional, and sound with five channels behind
the screen and surround effects in the cinema. |
Todd-AO Epilouge
By Walter Siegmund
We
can at least say, we once had our day and perhaps we
did leave our mark on the revival of motion pictures
- fifty years ago. |
70mm is Back by Popular Demand

October 2005. |
70mm Weekend Reviews
The view from the front row, the ultimate test for focus and clarity in
projection, was fantastic. We enjoyed a crystal clear and sharply focussed
projected image throughout. |
