A Technical History of Film

Organised by : Chichester Cinema

Michael Cox, a cinema trustee, will present a new and exciting contribution to our education programme in a two hour journey through the technical developments which bring the art form of cinema to the Silver Screen.

He will cover the period from 1895 until the present day and, with illustrations from moving and still images, will discuss how the pioneers of motion pictures developed film, studios, projectors and cinemas. The talk will also show how enhancements were made to sound, colour, depth and screen design over the period, such as VistaVision, Cinerama, CinemaScope, 3D, 70mm, Imax, Dolby Sound and Digital pictures. Michael Cox worked for 20 years at the Head Office of the Associated British Picture Corporation who owned one thousand ABC Cinemas across the UK. 120m
