Very interesting. Thank you for posting that.

Thanks for the link.


The two very fine epics mentioned here hopefully will get some respect on digital media in the future:

There is also a Technicolor retrospective at the Berlinale this year:

Apparently the Technirama process is unknown to them or seems not important enough even though it produced some of the best looking IB Tech prints ever, oh well...

Damn. Would have been very tempting to drive up for that. That weekend is, unfortunately, out for me.

 

[Robert Harris]

I'll be making every effort to attend. To see the Selznick studio print of A Star is Born in nitrate / Technicolor is something devoutly to be wished, and a true rarity.

Might this be the same print that MoMA showed decades ago during a series dedicated to nitrate prints from Selznick's vault? I remember seeing it, along with Nothing Sacred, The Garden of Allah, Duel in the Sun, Portrait of Jennie, etc. A Star Is Born was truly gorgeous.

Do they have to get a special permit and/or inspection from the fire marshal?


Anyway, I'd love to see this, but besides A Star Is Born, what are the other 8 programs?

 

[Charles Smith]

They haven't posted the rest yet. (Follow the link and scroll down to where it says "view schedule".)

(In theory, I could see A Star is Born if I were to literally turn around and come back that night, somehow staying fresh as a daisy to honor a commitment the next day.. But I've done the math.)

 

[Charles Smith]

The Martin Hill video is mouthwatering. And too short.

It's a nitrate booth.

It's a nitrate booth.

It looked to me like the other films haven't been announced yet. If anyone else knows, perhaps they can post it.

I wonder which draft it is? It's not a continuity script because right off the bat I noticed different dialog than what's in the finished film.


This should be a good read though.

It's close enough to the film that I think it's the final shooting draft, barring any on-set changes or rounds of revisions.
