ULTRA CINEMATHEQUE 70 FEST
Festival | From the Golden Age of 70mm filmmaking to recent large-format presentations, Ultra Cinematheque has it all.
ABOUT THE FESTIVAL:
The Golden Age of 70mm filmmaking from 1955 to 1970 brought us nearly 60 Hollywood features. Every July, the American Cinematheque salutes the large-screen format with newly struck 70mm prints from all over the world. In addition to films shot in large-format, many were released in the 1980s in special engagements as 70mm blow-ups, which offered sound and image quality superior to the original 35mm prints and enhanced the spectacle of the filmmakers’ visions. Since then, 70mm filmmaking never really went away. In recent years, a new generation has embraced large-format presentations.
