The long overdue resurgence of the 70mm format – which headlines the American Cinematheque’s “ The Return of 70mm " series at the Aero, starting on August 10 – arrives at a moment in time when the film industry has never been more filmless. For a digital generation raised on such designations as 1080p, 2k, and 4k, wrapping one’s head around the sprocketed arcana of 16mm, 35mm, and 70mm can sometimes seem as daunting as Euclidean geometry.

It's fine. So, what do you think? Please comment below and let me know! If you want to contact us or have any questions please send an e-mail to johnstarslayer@gmail.com .
