Academy Museum to Host Rare VistaVision Film Screening Series This August

Summary

The Academy Museum in Los Angeles is hosting a rare "Presented in VistaVision" screening series in August, featuring films shot in the original large-format VistaVision process. The series includes Paul Thomas Anderson's "One Battle After Another," Cecil B. DeMille's "The Ten Commandments," and other classics. VistaVision, created by Paramount in 1954 to compete with CinemaScope, has seen renewed interest from modern directors like Brady Corbet and Paul Thomas Anderson, but true VistaVision projection remains extremely rare. The series offers a unique opportunity to experience these films in their original format.
