The Aeronauts 70mm Screening

The Aeronauts 70mm

Coral Gables Art Cinema is the only theater in Florida projecting The Aeronauts on celluloid film. This is a unique opportunity to see it on a format that truly captures the electrifying thrills and expansive imagery of the film. See it on 70mm at our sneak peek screening tonight (Tuesday, December 3) at 8:00 pm.

In 1862, daredevil balloon pilot Amelia Wren (Felicity Jones) teams up with pioneering meteorologist James Glaisher (Eddie Redmayne) to advance human knowledge of the weather and fly higher than anyone in history. But they face physical and emotional challenges in the thin air, as the ascent becomes a struggle for survival. Redmayne and Jones earned an Oscar and an Oscar nomination respectively for The Theory of Everything in 2014. And director Tom Harper (Wild Rose) transmutes a real-life story into the wonder-filled adventure of the season.

Why see The Aeronauts on 70mm?

The current vertical standard 65mm wide format celluloid frame is 5 perforations in height, providing a much greater picture area than regular 35mm film stock. When prints are made for projection, an extra 5mm is added to the width to accommodate the soundtrack, widening the film to 70mm. The reels run at 120 feet per minute, which is 20% faster than 35mm film. What all of this boils down to is an ultra high-resolution image that is bigger, brighter, and much sharper, lending added realism and depth to the viewing experience.
