| |  Motion pictures photographed in Super Panavision 70 & Panavision System 65 • "70mm film like anything has its advantages and disadvantages. It is particularly appropriate for those films that are set in locations of outstanding natural beauty. For example, it was certainly the right film for shooting "Lawrence Of Arabia", where capturing the magnificence of the desert was so important".
Freddie A. Young, The 70mm Newsletter, June 1995

From indiewire.com 21. July 2022:
So, naturally, the movie had to be shot with large format IMAX cameras for the immersive action (along with Panavision System 65 cameras for the rest, and Kodak supplying 65mm film for both). Peele found the perfect collaborator in Hoyte van Hoytema — Christopher Nolan’s go-to cinematographer — who has transformed IMAX into innovative spectacle with “Interstellar”, "Dunkirk", "Tenet", and the upcoming "Oppenheimer"
There are 47 minutes of IMAX footage devoted primarily to the various alien attacks (shot in Agua Dulce near Santa Clarita).

Tell us about shooting -- where was it shot? How big was the crew? What made this video special? We shot on 65mm, using this rare camera of which there are only three left in the world. I shouldn't be saying this, but I was carrying it through a rock quarry and dragging it through sand while thinking "this camera literally shot The Dark Knight, this camera shot 2001: A Space Odyssey." It’s from the 70s and looks like a NASA device. It shoots the highest resolution. If you want to shoot a big action sequence you use a 65mm. It helped me get that epicness I thought the song required.

From American Cinematographer:
In prep, the filmmakers tested various methods of further enhancing the hyper-real look of Teddy’s visions; 65mm, anamorphic 35mm and high-definition video were all considered as mates for the project’s main format, Super 35mm. “The goal was to capture as much detail as possible for the DI suite,” says Richardson. “There weren’t as many differences among the filmouts as you might expect — the DI was the great equalizer — but 65mm had a definitive edge. We could wrestle with it in the digital world without the normal side effects encountered with a smaller negative. After he saw the tests, Marty agreed to shoot Teddy’s dream states on 65mm.” Unfortunately, after filming one day with a Panavision PFX System 65 Studio and an Arri 765, both cameras broke down on a frigid night. “Only a few of those shots remain,” says Richardson. (Ed. Note: These can be seen in a dream sequence that shows Teddy in Dachau in civilian clothes.) | "Inception" | 2010 | | "Inception" in 65mm | "The Tree of Life" | 16.05.2011 | Festival de Cannes, France | | "Snow White and the Huntsman" | 30.05.2012 | | | "To the Wonder"

What format was the movie shot on?
Lubezki: It’s a combination of 35mm, which was used for the scenes between Ben and Olga in Oklahoma, and 65mm for several shots of Ben and Rachel McAdams. That relationship is perceived by Ben’s character as less romantic and more stable and realistic, and we felt that the 65mm expressed that stability and a kind of hyper-reality.
Aside from a scene with some buffalo that we shot in 65mm because we couldn’t get too close to the animals, we didn’t use cumbersome equipment. For the buffalo sequence, we used a crane because we wanted the 65mm material to feel a little more steady and different from the rest of the movie, but other than that we used a combination of Steadicam and handheld. And when I say handheld I don’t necessarily mean a moving camera — sometimes we use sandbags and just prop the camera on the floor or another part of our location. | Jurassic World | 29.05.2015 | France

Jurassic World Calls for 65mm Film
Many interior scenes were filmed on set in Louisiana. In addition to shooting the majority of the film on 4-perf 35mm, Schwartzman shot roughly 150,000 feet of 5-perf 65mm film to take advantage of the additional dynamic range and resolution.
“I used the 65mm camera if I knew I had a wide shot in which we were either going to change the background or introduce dinosaurs,” he says. “Why not give ILM the master shot on a format so large that they could do a move across it if they wanted to? In Hawaii, we would generally use the 65 for our master. When we went in for the coverage, I would go to 35mm.”
“We shot our 65mm tests at Panavision, sent the negative over the FotoKem, and saw it projected the next day,” he says. “It was like, ‘Oh, my god. Why aren’t we doing this on every movie?’ It’s just so beautiful.”
“The 65mm, shot on the 50 daylight film, looks like you could walk right into the screen,” Schwartzman explains. “If it was sunny in Hawaii, I used the 50D anytime I could. Sometimes I’d throw on a polarizing filter, shoot at 11.5, and I knew it would be gorgeous.”
panavision.com:
Large format 5-perf 65mm was strategically employed for master shots and for visual effects. With a native aspect ratio of 2.20:1, 65mm provided Industrial Light & Magic with some additional frame space to maneuver for the film's 2.00:1 aspect. “The 65mm film negative gave ILM an incredibly high-resolution image for effects shots,” he says.
| "Knight of Cups" | February 2015 | Berlin Film Festival | Terrence Malick’s "Knight of Cups", which premiered at the Berlin Film Festival in early February 2015, has literally been years in the making.

"For the dramatic entry into the Hundred Acre Wood and iconic Pooh Sticks Bridge scenes, the cinematographer selected a Panavision System 65 camera, fitted with a combination of Ultra Panavision lenses and spherical glass." | "Tenet" | 26.08.2020 | | Tenet was mostly filmed in 65mm IMAX | No Time to Die | 12.11.2020 | London, UK | From American Cinematographer, April 2020:
The filmmakers used Imax MSM 9802 and Mark IV cameras for these scenes, with [Panavision] System 65 units employed for intimate dialogue because, says Sandgren, “Imax cameras are just a bit too loud.” | | | | | | | | | | | | |
