The Dawn of IMAX Filmmaking

Playing at this theatre as part of the IMAX Film Festival running January 18 to February 21.

To demonstrate the extraordinary clarity of the laser projection system, IMAX converted these two classic films, both captured in 15 perf 70mm film, to play on the digital 4K laser system. Never before seen together in this format, IMAX Victoria is excited to have obtained these two films for this year’s festival. See both with one ticket together throughout the festival.
