Cinerama Dome Puts "How The West Was Won" In Proper Perspective

April 12, 2012

On this Sunday, April 15, 2012 at 9:15 am, the Cinerama Dome at the ArcLight Hollywood will present the 2 hour, 42 minute in its original Cinerama format as part of the TCM Classic Film Festival. The classic film will be shown on an extremely wide curved screen and accompanied by seven channels of sound. Cinerama movies were shot on three strips of 35 mm film at once, using a specialized camera with three lenses and three film magazines. Playing a Cinerama film requires three projectors, each projecting an image that fills a third of the screen. For film buffs this is a must-see experience! http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/movies/la-et-0412-cinerama-20120412,0,7537749.story
