West Side Story screening evokes memories of 1965 Florida cinema experience

During a screening of ‘West Side Story’ at the Caixaforum ‘Tiempo de Cine’ program, a shared memory emerged regarding the film’s historical projection at the Florida cinema in July 1965.

In 1965, the Florida cinema utilized the Super Panavision 70mm system, offering a large curved screen and six-track magnetic stereo sound. The experience of viewing the film in such a format left a lasting impression on attendees, including a woman who recalled seeing it with her father and the narrator, who noted the film's impact on their professional path.
