About

Widescreen Weekend is a unique festival of large-screen formats and cinema technologies celebrating the past, present and future of film.

Enjoy a long weekend of big, bold and wide cinema experiences as we showcase the museum’s fantastic projection facilities. Glorious 70mm screenings, new Cinerama restorations and great guests will remind you why going to the movies is so magical.

This year, celebrating the 70th Anniversary of Cinemascope, the filmmaking process which started an anamorphic revolution, brought audiences back to the cinema and took widescreen around the world.
