Viewing Notes
This is a short film directed by IMAX® co-inventor Graeme Ferguson and premiered on the first IMAX in Ontario. Part of me feels like I saw this at the Science & Industry museum back in the day but then again many of these early *giant* format short films were similar in their approach. Viewing on a computer screen doesn’t really do this justice but I imagine this was wondrous on that first IMAX screen. Akin to watching that train in the first motion picture.
View the film here beginning at the 32:00 mark. There’s a Q&A with the director after the film.
