Camera Magica, Norway - Large format short film: Where the Trains used to go

Where the Trains used to go ("Imax format")

A Year along the Abandoned Road (70mm)

Contact us at

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.
