The Lighthouse's upcoming Kubrick season is a good example of this....

I was interested in going to some of these films but saw no mention of the format so I'll pass. I assume they are just projecting blu-rays unless they have stated otherwise somewhere?

Much like another poster, I have emailed cinemas about format enquiries but rarely if ever get proper information back.

Technocentral · 13-10-2014 5:55pm

See that Dr, Strangelove is on tonight, any idea what the format is? Were previous Kubrick season films only Blu Ray or are they at least D Cinema?

Jean Cocteau's La Belle et la Bête (Beauty and the Beast) from 1946 will be shown on Monday, October 27, at Brooks Hotel (Dublin 2).

The Wickerman (the original obviously) will be shown in The Sugar Club on Wednesday 29th October as a fundraiser for First Fortnight, a charity that aims to challenge mental health prejudice through the arts.

Tickets are 10 euro and can be bought here and on the door if not sold out http://entertainment.ie/show-/The-Sugar-Club/First-Frightnight-Wickerman-Party-Night-in-aid-of-First-Fortnight/event-2728253.htm

Do you know what format this is being shown in?

Technocentral · 04-11-2014 12:47am

VHS

Playtime is in the IFI from Friday. A strong candidate for greatest comedy film in the history of cinema. Remove the comedy bit and you wouldn't be too far off either

JohnMearsheimer · 04-11-2014 12:59am

I wish cinemas in Cork would screen classic movies more often. The only one I've seen was Back to the Future for its 25th anniversary.

Tempted but d-cinema is putting me off slightly.

Try not to be put off by 'D-Cinema'. The restoration of PLAYTIME was done at 4K retaining all the original grain of the celluloid. It looks magnificent. Though, on saying that, it doesn't beat the 70MM version I saw a couple of years ago, complete with a new DTS soundtrack. The experience was stunning.

Fingers crossed for the BFI's restoration of 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY coming at the end of the month. The newly made trailer is currently running (in Cinemascope) at the IFI. But the image is worryingly dark. I hope this isn't reflected in the actual print.

Ageyev · 09-11-2014 11:02pm

Is that a new restoration Ushabye?

Ushabye · 10-11-2014 2:10pm

According to the BFI it is a new restoration. If the trailer was struck from the final restored print, it'll be disappointing. The cut from the spinning bone to the missile platform...there's nothing but shadow, most of the detail is lost. I may be spoiled from watching the 70mm version a few times, but the detail is there on the bluray also.

johnny_ultimate · 10-11-2014 2:14pm

Frustrating that the IFI has no evening screenings of Playtime, but that seems to almost always be the case with their classic screenings

Thanks but as mentioned above, the showing times are crap so I won't get a chance to see it. I wonder what sort of numbers the IFI are pulling in for screenings like this, seems senseless to have them on during the day only.

There were only 1 or 2 empty seats at the 16.00 screening today but that was in the smallest screen. Unfortunately none of us got to see the film because of a power failure in the area! No Playtime for me.

Yeah was there too. Thought the staff handled it well and replacement tickets were offered but disappointing all the same.

Was at Leviathan right before it so at least my trip into town wasn't a complete waste.

Kiith · 01-12-2014 2:40pm

Blade Runner is on in Cineworld on the 14th. Definitely going to see that.

Liam McPoyle · 15-01-2015 2:44pm

"Grindhouse Dublin" are screening John McNaughtons classic - Henry : Portrait of a Serial Killer - this month, date tbc.

IMO it's Michael Rookers finest hour and easily the best serial killer movie ever made.

How can I keep up to date with these? The last post on their website was for Tango & Cash last November/December. Don't have FB so I can't see their page.
