February 1-10, 2002 Technicolor Dreams: The SecondAnnual Festival of Dye-Transfer Technicolor At The Movies. Co-presented with Sabucat Productions. Sponsored by Technicolor Worldwide Film Group
Almost a novelty when it was introduced in the early 1920's, Technicolor reached its zenith in the 1940's and 50's, when classics like Black Narcissus, Forever Amber, Moulin Rouge, The Quiet Man And Blood And Sand were released using the brilliant, deeply-saturated hues of dye-transfer Technicolor (commonly known as IB or "imbibition".) Dye-transfer Technicolor prints are becoming increaseingly scarce treasures since Technicolor stopped U.S. production of them in 1974 (although the process was recently revived on a limited basis). Following the sold-out success of our first Dye-Transfer Festival in February, 2000, this series will feature even more ultra-rare prints -- including original nitrate copies of Black Narcissus, Shirley Temple's The Little Princess and Forever Amber, plus beautiful dye-transfer prints of the James Bond films Doctor No and From Russia With Love, Sergio Leone's A Fistful Of Dollars, a classic sci-fi double-feature of Destination Moon and Robinson Crusoe On Mars, rare Tech trailers and more!!
