"We’ve been able to push the boat out a little bit more" Read our interview with Widescreen Weekend Programmer Rebecca Hill here: screenmayhem.com/this-is-the-bi…

It's been two weeks since we started the festival! Thanks again to everyone who came and joined us for Widescreen Weekend 2024. We've received fantastic feedback on this year's edition so please take the time to complete our online audience survey. buff.ly/3YjkDvE

A great opportunity from our friends at @CineRedis!

It was a joy to introduce TO CATCH A THIEF for the recent @WidescreenWknd festival @MediaMuseum! Sadly, I couldn't be there in person, but it was great to be a part of this virtually. Special thanks to Programme Manager-the incredible Bex Hill- for sending me this photo! 🎞️✨

Brilliant to have the Scottish premiere of Splice Here, a little after 2 years since its UK premiere at @WidescreenWknd 2022. And even better to create an event around celebrating celluloid with 35mm projection and tours! Well done @DCAdundee!

@SamuEllmer Hey! Yes, so Cleopatra was directly from David at Cinerama Inc. and Indiana Jones is our own Smilebox solution we're testing out on non-Cinerama/roadshow titles for stone experimental one off's.

@WidescreenWknd was it smilebox that was used to present Cleopatra and Indiana Jones on the cinerama screens this weekend?

And just like that Widescreen Weekend is over for another year! Massive thank you on behalf of the team (not all of whom are pictured) for our supporters, funders, speakers, programmers, colleagues and delegates who make this event possible. See you next year? #WSW25

@tyrunn Unfortunately Back to the Future isn't widescreen! We search it every year and it never changes 😂

Had a fantastic Saturday night at @WidescreenWknd with the first three Indiana Jones movies on their curved screen. Back to the Future turns 40 next year guys...

Wrap up @WidescreenWknd in style with some 50s favourites, featuring Simon and Laura on 35mm 🎞️

Morning all! It's the last day of Widescreen Weekend and we've got a couple more VistaVision events to go until we finish. - The Searchers - Simon and Laura - And our partner screening up at Bradford Movie Makers with A Trouble With Harry buff.ly/3TEijwd

Enjoyed putting this list together for @BFI to mark Marcello’s centenary 📽️🎬🎂 #MarcelloMastroianni #Mastroianni100

Day four of @WidescreenWknd and you catch some Cinerama and historical epics (unless you’re talking a well-earned nap after Indiana Jones)

Day 3 might be "technically" over but we're still going at 4am! Indiana Jones formatted especially for our curved screen is the perfect way to finish an incredible Saturday of Widescreen Weekend!

Top of Sight and Sound’s 2012 poll, and now playing at @WidescreenWknd on a beautiful 35mm print from @BFI

time for PHANTOM THREAD (my second fav PTA) on 70mm as part of @WidescreenWknd 🙏

Looks like a technical error has stopped the 3-stripe Cinerama screening of 'How the West was Won' but the amazing @pictureville_BD team had a technical error reel ready to go in 35mm. This is fantastic!

Things that me and our Cinerama print of How the West Was Won have in common this morning: - Looking good in spite of our age - Having a breakdown

It's day 3 of Widescreen Weekend and we're kicking off with the magic of Cinerama. 3 projectors and projectionists working in unison for one massive image. And later we've got La Dolce Vita, Pride and Prejudice, Sicilian Ghost Story, Phantom Thread and Vertigo!

It’s our 3-Strip screening of How The West Was Won 🎞️🎞️🎞️
