Join us September 28th - October 4th at Hollywood's Historic CINERAMA Dome to celebrate Cinerama's 60th Anniversary! For the FIRST & ONLY time for one SPECTACULAR WEEK we will be playing twelve classic Cinerama productions. Select titles will be presented in the original 3 strip Cinerama process and additional titles will be digitally projected, re-mastered from the original negatives.

All of the films will be presented in the Dome, one of only three theatres in the world capable of projecting in 3 strip Cinerama. Specially designed to project Cinerama, the Dome features a giant, 126-degree curved screen that immerses audiences in the picture. Made of 316 hexagons and pentagons, the Dome is the only concrete geodesic dome in the world. Starting off the series in the WORLD PREMIERE of "In the Picture", the first film photographed in 3 strip Cinerama in 50 years!

One of the things I don't like about seeing movies in the Dome is that the perspective is "warped" when projected on the wide and curved screen. I imagine that this won't be the case with the movies that are projected in 3 strip Cinerama, but what about the ones projected digitally?

Sadly, the only two films in the series I'm interested in seeing are ones I've already seen in the Dome.
