Dunkirk Premiere: BL&S helps revive Super Panavision 70 for projecting Christopher Nolan’s visionary WWII film

When director/writer/producer Christopher Nolan set out to create his film chronicling the mass evacuation of allied troops from the beaches of Dunkirk, he insisted on filming in IMAX 70mm. As he told an Irish Times reporter, “70mm is the most incredible way to tell a large-scale story. The audience really gets the benefit of that large canvas, that depth of colour, that heightened resolution.”
