Written by: Zdeněk Štěpánek, Centrum Panorama, Varnsdorf, Czech RepublicDate: 03.05.2026
Dear friends and film technology fans, On behalf of 70mm Cinema Panorama in Varnsdorf, Czech Republic, on the border with Germany, we would like to invite you to a Panorama Weekend which will be held from 29th until 31th May, 2026 within the 22nd Film Festival Nisa. The program are 70mm projection movies, 35mm 3D movies, meetings with friends, fun and good food and drinks. Cinema Panorama in Varnsdorf offers a unique technical equipment with curved screen. Projected image size is up to 135 square meters. Cinema is projected as 70mm with a triangular floor plan and the projection screen is considerably moved to viewers and has practically no stage.

Designed capacity is of 550 seats. Projection booth has installed all classic projection technology i.e. 16mm, 35mm (2x), 70mm (2x) and Christie digital projector. On a perfect tuning our technology and program we cooperate with foreign friends – Orpheum Lichtspiele Schönberg, Kinomuseum Berlin and Mikula Servis Switzerland. Hardware is not only in perfect technical condition, but all improving go beyond the original technology. We are so prepared for film copies, which, due to the effects of the ravages of time are not perfect. Projectors UM 70/35 we have adapted for screening shrink copies, in the sound system we added noise suppression for audio records without Dolby. Furthermore, we have installed Dolby A or Dolby SR or other audio systems for 70mm films having e.g. the low bass frequencies in a particular track or have stereo sound effects. All recordings are played as they were technically worked on the film copy, but through modern sound processor and speakers.

We offer to visitors to the festival eating in our two restaurants located in the complex of CENTRUM PANORAMA with rich selection of pizzas, pastas, meat and vegetarian dishes. We highly recommend ordering your food in advance for when the movie ends.

Our philosophy is to offer movies that are very rare on similar 70mm shows. Of course, we can never be quite sure, if anyone has ever organize some screenings alone outside regular festivals, but about many films we failed to get the information that they would have been in recent years played somewhere.
