Description / Comments
 �Cinerama Adventure,� directed and produced by Randy Gitsch and David Strohmaier, chronicles the long-lost three-camera, three-projector cinematic process that thrilled millions in the 1950s and 1960s and reveals how Cinerama changed the evolution of movies to the widescreen, stereo experience of today.  Cinerama played in more than 200 theatres and in most of the world�s major cities. These productions were almost always listed within the top ten box office grossing films of the year with two titles landing in first place.  The film also features cameos from many well-known Hollywood stars.  The run time for the film is 96 minutes.

            Stay tuned for these upcoming film screenings:
