70 MM

Celebrating the 50^th anniversary of the seminal film, Warner Bros. Pictures is releasing an “unrestored” 70mm print of Kubrick’s groundbreaking science fiction epic. A true photochemical film recreation, this print was struck from new printing elements made from the original camera negative under the supervision of Christopher Nolan.

There are no digital tricks, remastered effects, or revisionist edits.  This is the unrestored film – that recreates the cinematic event that audiences experienced fifty years ago.

Since 1970, Cinestudio has been an integral part of Trinity’s campus life. Part of the free and open 1823 Series, Cinestudio presents a curated series of iconic films that each represent a decade since its founding, as selected by alumni, students, faculty, and staff.

The final film in the series is a Cinestudio classic! British Lieutenant T.E. Lawrence (Peter O’Toole) is sent to Arabia to find Prince Faisal (Alec Guinness) and to serve as a liaison between the Arabs and the British in their fight against the Turks. With the aid of native Sherif Ali (Omar Sharif), Lawrence rebels against the orders of his superior officer and strikes out on a daring camel journey across the harsh desert to attack a well-guarded Turkish port.

70mm showcases just what this amazing format can achieve. Lawrence of Arabia is a visual masterpiece as well as a thrilling epic, following the adventures of T.E. Lawrence during World War I on the Arabian peninsula. As the film opens, Lawrence is a rebellious British Lieutenant, who joins forces with Prince Faisal (Alec Guiness) and Sherif Ali (Omar Sharif) to attack the Turks at Aqaba. As the stakes get higher, Lawrence gains friends – and dangerous enemies – on both sides.

Winner of seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Score (Maurice Jarre), and Best Cinematography (Freddy Young). The film will be shown with one intermission.

“Of all the cinematic epics captured on 70mm, few come as grand and successfully realised as Lawrence of Arabia. It’s almost impossible to highlight just a single moment from the countless miracles the film pulls off.” – The British Film Institute.

In Super Panavision 70MM, from director Christopher Nolan (Inception, The Dark Knight trilogy) comes the story of a team of pioneers undertaking the most important mission in human history. Academy Award®-winner Matthew McConaughey (Dallas Buyer’s Club) stars as ex-pilot-turned-farmer Cooper, who must leave his family and a foundering Earth behind to lead an expedition traveling beyond this galaxy to discover whether mankind has a future among the stars.

When Alfonso Cuarón (Children of Men, Y Tu Mama Tambien) first dreamed up Roma, he saw it as a 70mm film, seen in a  cinema. We are thrilled to be able to grant his desire! Roma – nominated for 10 Academy Awards – is a luminous portrait of one family in Mexico City in the early 1970s.

Winner of four Academy Awards, applauded as “monumental,” “tremendous,” “genuinely great” by critics across the country, “Spartacus” has long been considered one of the screen’s great achievements. Spartacus” under the direction of then-31-year-old Kubrick will be presented as it was meant to be seen: In 70mm and six-track Dolby Sound..
