Thank you to director Paul Thomas Anderson, cinematographer Michael Bauman, and producer Sara Murphy for joining us for a special screening of ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER (2025) in VistaVision.

Created by Paramount Pictures in 1954, VistaVision turned 35mm film on its side to create a stunning high-resolution widescreen image. Over 11 days, we celebrated the groundbreaking format with ultra-rare prints, 70mm remasters, and new 6K digital scans.

As our VistaVision series comes to a close, thank you to everyone who joined us to experience these films on the big screen.

🎟️ The screenings don't stop here! Secure your seat for what's next: acadmu.se/UpcomingScreenings
