Quentin Tarantino’s 70mm Roadshow extravaganza
“The Hateful Eight“
had a simultaneous showcase release in no less than six Australian cinemas
from January 14th 2016. Three of these venues were in Sydney, Event Cinemas
George St Complex, The Hayden Orpheum and The Randwick Ritz. Three other
venues were in Melbourne, The Astor St Kilda, The Village Cinemas Rivoli
Complex and The Sun Theatre Yarraville.
Most, if not all of these venues were visited by the director himself
accompanied by Samuel L Jackson and Kurt Russell, who gave post show Q & A’s
with the sold out audiences at George St, Hayden Orpheum and Village Rivoli
cinemas for those designated Q & A sessions.
I attended two of the film presentations in Melbourne, firstly at “The
Astor“ St. Kilda with it’s 20 metre big screen high impact presentation.
This cinema has two Cinemeccanica Victoria 8 projectors and its presentation
was done with change overs. It used two of the original Ultra Panavision
anamorphic lens attachments for their season.

Curtains
of the Rivoli cinema
As I exited the 5:15 PM session I was confronted by a long queue of people
waiting to enter for the 8:15 PM evening session. The queue ran from the
cinema’s upper lobby area down the stairs through the lower lobby and then
down the street beside the theatre. The following day I attended the 1:30 PM
session at the beautiful art deco “Rivoli Complex“ cinema one. Here another
Cinemeccanica Victoria 8 projector had recently been installed replacing the
existing Kinoton FP30E projector that was side by side with the cinema’s
digital projector. Both of these cinemas showed off the great quality of the
Ultra Panavision 70 process to audiences that had mostly never seen this
film format. On display was not only the razor sharp grainless image, but
also the solid saturated colour rendition that only film presentations can
currently deliver.

Of the six cinemas that played the film, only
“The Astor“ St Kilda and the
“Hayden Orpheum“ were already equipped with 70mm projection equipment. It
has been an extraordinary achievement by the film distributor to have so
many cinemas worldwide equip with the cinema’s premiere release film format,
paving the way for more wide releases of movies in the prestige 70mm format.
Film lovers can now look forward to future releases such as Christopher
Nolan’s “Dunkirk“ and the next
“Planet Of The Apes“ instalment in 70mm release print format.
