Author Topic: 70mm festival? Christopher Seo Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 530 From: Los Angeles, CA Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-28-2009 02:35 AM                     I'm certain that the recent "Lawrence" 70mm DTS mix is 5.1 and I'm almost certain that the 70mm mag prints are Format 42 with SR (definitely not Format 41). As far as I can gather the restoration mix has always been 4.1 (Left, Center, Right, Surround, Subwoofer). I too am under the impression that the 70mm "2001" prints made in 2001 were all mag (Format 41 with SR). The several different prints I've seen or run were all mag, certainly. I think the newer 35mm prints are quad-track, so some kind of DTS mix would exist, but probably no special venue mix.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-28-2009 06:15 AM                     The 70 prints up here of LOA were toddao format with SR or A type depending on the print  |  IP: Logged Paul Gordon Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 580 From: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Registered: Aug 2005 posted 09-28-2009 03:43 PM                        Hey Gordon, Do you know what other 70mm prints are in Canada? Thanks, Paul  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-29-2009 10:39 AM                     You need to contact your booker as prints are often being shipped stateside  |  IP: Logged Christopher Seo Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 530 From: Los Angeles, CA Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-29-2009 05:15 PM                     Gordon, Very interesting about the "Lawrence" prints in Canada. Do you remember when they were made? The prints I have run were made around 2002 which I assume was the last batch. Also, whether the dialogue was panned or center only?  |  IP: Logged Paul Gordon Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 580 From: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Registered: Aug 2005 posted 12-18-2009 08:31 AM                        Festival is starting to take shape... Not a lot of 70mm prints in Canada though, Warner has nothing so no 2001! So far we have Vertigo DTS Spartacus DTS Lawrence of Arabia 6-track I think, Sony tells me Deluxe has no way of checking the prints that are 70mm? Chitty Chitty Bang Bang 6-track... Khartoum (though doesn't it need Ultra Panavision 70 Lens Adapters?) Still looking for more....  |  IP: Logged Ron Lacheur Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 650 From: British Columbia, Canada Registered: Feb 2002 posted 12-18-2009 02:28 PM                     Any scheduled dates for this festival Paul? I might have to take a flight to Ottawa You should be able to get Ghostbusters in 70, it has made it's way around the US for some time.  |  IP: Logged Robert Throop Master Film Handler Posts: 412 From: Vernon, NY USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-19-2009 10:08 AM                     Please keep us posted on the dates. I may take a trip to Ottowa as well.

He has a gift for tracking down 70mm prints all over the world. ---- The was a brand-new print of "Where Eagles Dare" last spring at Bradford, and I believe there has been a new "STAR!" (DTS) recently, too.  |  IP: Logged Paul Gordon Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 580 From: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Registered: Aug 2005 posted 12-21-2009 08:22 AM                        I will keep you all posted... Currently the planned dates are October 8,9, 10th 2010 Might play a couple blow ups to.. Paramount has a bunch of stuff in Canada Untouchables Star Trek 6 Top Gun Titanic  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-21-2009 08:25 AM                        I've run Ghostbusters in 70mm and it looks pretty terrible. It's grain-city for the entire film. Not a good way to show off the capabilities of the format.  |  IP: Logged Paul Gordon Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 580 From: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Registered: Aug 2005 posted 12-21-2009 08:38 AM                        Of all the blow-ups, the one I'm really looking for is Pink Floyd's the Wall... I think that would be killer with 6-track sound... but there is probably only pink prints left  |  IP: Logged Victor Liorentas Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: london ontario canada Registered: May 2009 posted 12-21-2009 05:39 PM                     The Wall is a great sounding 6-track and so is the Fame blow up! Same director too!  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 12-21-2009 06:51 PM                     Pink Floyd The Wall sounded fanatastic in 6 track...problem was the 70mm image was very soft.  |  IP: Logged Paul Gordon Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 580 From: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Registered: Aug 2005 posted 02-06-2010 04:19 PM                        70mm festival update Its happening Sept. 24-26th at the theatre in the Museum of Civilization in Gatineau, Quebec (Across the river from Ottawa, the Capital of Canada).
