One film frame - Night, Train passing

Camera Magica's 15perf 70mm Large Format short film "Where the Trains used to go"
was elected BEST SHORT FILM at LFCA 2003 - the Large Format Cinema Association's
annual conference and film festival in Los Angeles, where it had its first public screening as
a finished film.
Since then it has been screened in a number of Imax cinemas abroad (Sweden,
Switzerland, the Netherlands, Canada, USA), - but never "at home" in Norway, since Norway's
only large format analog cinema - the IMAX theatre, Aker Brygge - also
closed its doors in 2003 just before the film was finished.

"Where the Trains used to go" is the first Norwegian film in "Analog Imax format":
A 4½ minute short film in 15perf 70mm, a magic animated journey along the remains
of a 100 year old narrow-gauge railway. While a year passes by,
we speed along the tracks of a museum railroad - and also through places
where there are no rails anymore.
