"Tron" |
Yes, "TRON" was filmed in
65mm
By Rob Hummel
"Tron" was shot 65mm 2,2:1 aspect ratio for all scenes. 65mm color for all the "real world material," and 65mm Black and White for all the material that was later composited into the "electronic world". |
"Symbiosis"
Cast & Credits
By Gerber &
Hauerslev
Gerber’s 17-minute-plus film, “Symbiosis”, is
a classic
affirmation that
effective film can
be made by someone
with equal devotion
to science and art.
It explores the
mutually dependent
relationship between
man and nature |

"Brainstorm"
in 65mm
By Douglas Trumbull
"Brainstorm" was originally developed to be the first film in SHOWSCAN.
There would have been 70mm 60fps prints, with the 35mm stuff skip
printed to 60 from 24. |

"Norway"
Cast & Credits
By Gerber &
Hauerslev
The clarity and
grandeur of the
large-scale images
in "Norway-The Film"
are due to the fact
that the film was
shot in 70mm, with
the same Panavision
camera used for
"Lawrence of
Arabia." |

"A Year Along the Abandoned
Road" - One Year in 12 Minutes and 70mm
By Morten Skallerud
The story of the making of "A Year Along the Abandoned Road" contains a lot
of technical innovation. It also contains a
different film language, and five Norwegians who
fought sub-Arctic nature in order to turn a "crazy"
idea into a 12-minute, 70mm film. |

“Far
and Away”s
By Mike Coate
“Far and Away” was
among ten confirmed
first-run films
released in 1992
with 70mm prints for
selected
engagements.
One-hundred
sixty-three 70mm
prints of the film
were reportedly
struck for
distribution in
North America, which
places it among the
industry’s
ten-highest
large-format print
orders in history
and the highest in
Universal Studios’
history. |
How
"Far and Away" became 65mm
By Mikael Salomon
"Far and Away" began as a small film which Ron and I
talked about making, while shooting
"Backdraft" |

“Hamlet” |
Release of "Hamlet" in 70mm
"Hamlet" is the first British film in 25 years to be
filmed in 65mm. The man charged with capturing the
look of the film was cinematographer Alex Thomson.
"The fabulous advantage of 70mm is the sharpness of
detail it gives, which can look three-dimensional at
times" |

"Samsara" world premiere September 2011
By Thomas Hauerslev
No 70mm prints have been
planned - yet. The premiere in Canada will be a state-of-the-art
high-end 4K digital presentation, with full uncompressed 6-track
digital sound. |
"Samsara"
- in Panavision System 65
By Mark Magidson and Ron Fricke
Ron Fricke will photograph in 65mm using both standard
frame rates and a motion control time-lapse camera designed
specifically for this project. |
Fricke
& Magidson and The Making of "Samsara"
We used a 70mm camera system that’s
been around for 50 years and is still the highest quality way of
capturing imagery. There’s a big price to pay getting film stock in and
out of places and moving that equipment around, it’s harder now than
ever. |
