The
German Travelogue "Flying Clipper – Traumreise unter weißen Segeln" in
Germany and in the USA
By Gerhard Witte "Flying Clipper", perhaps a German answer to the successful Cinemiracle
movie "Windjammer", had its World Premiere at Munich's "Royal-Palast" on
Goetheplatz on Wednesday, December 19, 1962. The travelogue is the first
German feature film production shot in the new wide-gauge film process
called "MCS 70" which had been developed by Modern Cinema Systems (MCS) Film
KG.
New 70mm print of "Flying Clipper" By Egbert Koppe FOTOKEM recut the negative and restored the sound, produced a DTS70 sound and made the final DTS70 print. Friday 6. February we'll check some reels on the screen in Cinestar 8
The
man with the camera. Coburg's film historian By
Manfred Romboy Jürgen A. Brückner, born in 1941, virtually inherited the passion for films.
In 1938 his father, Rudolf Brückner, a factory owner in Coburg, bought a
Siemens film camera. His father bought the camera so that he could film both
of his sons at the time. It was no surprise that the crafty Jürgen managed to get his father´s camera´s up and running when he was a
child. This meant that much of his fathers stock of undeveloped film got
drastically reduced!

PEOPLE OF MCS-70
In
the Movies with Gerhard Fromm
By Thomas Hauerslev Gerhard Fromm (b. 1932) has spent a lifetime with movies. From small
beginnings with DEFA in Berlin, to big European 70mm productions in the 1960s. From
working with Heinz Hölscher, Jan Jacobsen and Leni Riefenstahl, to teaching
camera techniques to students in his later life.
Re-visiting
Large Format With Gerhard Fromm By Thomas Hauerslev
In
the late 1990s, Mr. Gerhard Fromm invited me to come to München to talk
about movies and cameras and in 2009 I was on my way to see him.
I left Copenhagen on a cold Thursday January night, and
I was not travelling alone for this epic adventure. My friend of many years, Orla Nielsen joined me en-route and boarded the
City Night Line train in Odense. The following morning we would
arrive - by train - in south Bavaria to look for traces of the MCS 70
film process.

Der
Mann mit der Kamera. Coburgs Filmchronist
Von Manfred Romboy Coburgs Filmchronist von Manfred Romboy, DGPh Lust am Film wurde dem
1941 geborenen Jürgen A. Brückner quasi in die Wiege gelegt. 1938 hatte
sich sein Vater Rudolf Brückner, ein Coburger Fabrikant, eine
Siemens-Filmkamera gekauft. Es versteht sich, dass als beliebte
Filmobjekte auch seine beiden Söhne herhalten mussten. Eventuell hat das
katzenartige Abschnurren der väterlichen Doppel 8-Kamera schon im
Unterbewusstsein des kleinen Jürgen die Grundlagen seiner später so
ausgeprägten Filmaffinität gelegt.
