Widescreen Weekend is a unique festival of large-screen formats and cinema technologies celebrating the past, present and future of film.
Enjoy a long weekend of big, bold and wide cinema experiences as we showcase the museum’s fantastic projection facilities. Glorious 70mm screenings, new Cinerama restorations and great guests will remind you why going to the movies is so magical.
This year’s Widescreen Weekend will include a special Women in Widescreen celebration, plus Celluloid Saturday—a full day of film on film. Read on for details of the 2019 programme so far, and check back for further announcements in August.
