Why 70mm 15-Perforation IMAX Matters
Unlike standard 35mm film that moves vertically past the projector lens 4 perforations at a time, 15/70mm film runs horizontally through the projector. Each frame spans 15 perforations across 70mm film stock, yielding a native frame size of 70mm x 48.5mm—over 8.3 times larger than standard 35mm. This presents an unprecedented 1.43:1 tall aspect ratio that expands Christopher Nolan’s cinematic frame, filling the full height of specially configured IMAX GT dome/flat screens.
