Question – how many of you dear readers of mine are familiar with 70 mm Film gauge?
Give up? I will try to explain this motion picture format as simply as I can. Think of standard 35 mm film. Now times that number by two. In this case, our answer comes to 70 mm. The negative is basically 3.5 times as large as 35 mm film (read here). Admittedly, on camera, the format is 65 mm, but when it comes to projection, it is printed on 70 mm film (read here). As for Digital cinema, that is a different topic for another time. But If any of you want to talk about that sometime, feel free to leave me a comment 🙂

What is this blog-a-thon all about?
To any blogger who would like to participate in this, I would like you to write a blog entry about a great film you saw in 65/70 mm. The film can be old or new. If you would like, you can also write about the theater/theatre you saw it at (i.e. a historic landmark among other examples).

For Participants
If any of my fellow bloggers would like to participate, please leave a reply in the comment section and I will add you to the participant list. Also, the deadline for participation is Tuesday, October 1st. That is right, I will add you on the last day of the blog-a-thon as a participant 🙂
