This is CINERAMA! Had a wonderful day out to

to see "How The West Was Won" on three strip 35mm Cinerama. Such an immersive experience. I never thought I'd get to see a proper Cinerama projection like this.

Apr 28

What better way to celebrate a wide weekend than an incredible film in it's orginal format. This Sunday, enjoy the cinematic wonder that is Cinerama with How The West Was Won, screening using 3 separate 35mm prints, projectors, and projectionists! buff.ly/3YUnb0T
