Tonight’s show: Larger than life part 1
July 26, 2007
Tonight, as I’m ready for my close-up goes podcast only for the next four weeks*, it’s the first of two shows looking at the largest of large screen cinema. In part one, Alex Fitch interviews David Strohmaier, director of the documentary Cinerama Adventure which looks at the rise and fall of the seminal 1950s big screen format from its initial use as a military application, how the revolutionary three camera and projector format was used for nature documentaries and feature films to its disuse and legacy in other large screen formats.
Check back here around 10.30pm BST to download the show or click on one of the following links to download / stream the show from the Internet Archive, Feedburner or iTunes…
*While Resonance FM moves studios across London… The podcast only shows will then be broadcast on FM in the Autumn
