Cinerama

Vinterpalatset's Cinemiracle pro-scenium - well over 20 meters of pure viewing pleasure and beauty...

The new projection room on the balcony hosted the Cinemiracle equipment and single 35mm projection.


Alltime Blockbuster?


In projection - The Cinemiracle screen photographed from the projection room.

The three Century Cinemiracle projectors and the single 35mm projector.

Cinemiracle B projector - center, also housing a 2 track magnetic sound reproduction unit for backup and panning the surround channel.

Attending the A-projector, right hand panel, while running the show.

Rewinding and checking the print.


The beginning of the 70mm era - It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World in UltraPanavision and "Cinerama".


Two Cinemeccanica Victoria 8 70mm projectors made pretty pictures without annoying panel fittings.

Projectionist Tommy Haglund showing 70mm at "VP"! Can anyone help me with the names on the Cinemiracle crew?



The beginning of the end - running Universal's crappy SENSURROUND and the even crappier EARTHQUAKE in 1975.
