The Odyssey: An Epic Journey of Christopher Nolan's 15/70 IMAX Film Print

Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is the first feature film ever shot entirely on 15/70 IMAX motion picture film. But before audiences experience it on the giant screen, every physical film print must complete an extraordinary journey. In this exclusive documentary, we follow Print #33 from its creation at FotoKem in California, across the Atlantic to London, and finally to the iconic Science Museum IMAX, where it is prepared for its very first public screening. Thanks to the incredible support of FotoKem and the Science Museum, you'll see behind the scenes of: • How IMAX 15/70 release prints are produced • Quality control using professional densitometers • International transport of a 70mm IMAX print • Film assembly inside the projection booth • Threading (lacing up) an IMAX projector • The first test screening before opening night • What happens moments before the audience sees the first frame This is one of the rarest looks ever filmed at the complete life cycle of a modern IMAX 15/70 release print. 💡 Support the channel: – Use the Super Thanks feature on YouTube – Or become a Patron: patreon.com/bored_tech 📷 Follow on Instagram: instagram.com/bored_tech 📘 Join on Facebook: facebook.com/share/VEDycfdcA3vYKX8x/?mibextid=LQQJ4d If you enjoy cinema technology, projection, Christopher Nolan's films, or motion picture film, I hope you'll enjoy this journey. Special thanks to FotoKem, the Science Museum and IMAX for making this documentary possible. Additional Information: IMAX Print Preparation An additional stage of the print’s journey takes place between FotoKem and its arrival at the cinema. FotoKem produces the film prints, while IMAX’s team in Los Angeles manages much of the subsequent preparation. This includes cutting, assembling, scanning, building, quality control and projecting the prints before they are prepared and shipped to IMAX theatres.
