Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
CINEMIRACLE used three 35mm cameras running at 26fps then projected at 24fps to create a massive curved image—only five films ever used the format.
The Christian Radich still sails today, a rare surviving tall ship from the era of sail training as national identity—Norway's wooden navy, essentially.
