In this episode of the IMAX Vanguard podcast, we take you behind the scenes — literally. We put forward some of the burning questions from our community to the projection team at Cineworld Leicester Square, one of the UK’s premier IMAX venues. What do they think about the changing face of film projection? Where do they see it going? And how does it feel to run IMAX 70mm film in a digital age?
IMAX Vanguard exists to spotlight the magic of large-format cinema, bridge the gap between audiences and the projection booth, and preserve the craft that makes truly cinematic experiences possible. We're here to document, inform, and inspire — for those who still believe in the power of the big screen.
