John Sittig, director of Cinerama Inc. at Arclight Cinemas has authorized the Restoration of four Cinerama films as part of a 60th anniversary Cinerama preservation project. These films are "Cinerama Holiday" (1955), "Seven Wonders of the World" (1956), "Search for Paradise" (1957) and "South Seas Adventure" (1958). John has been working closely with Michael Forman from Pacific Theaters, the owners of Cinerama. Michael, a long-time board member of the American Film Institute, is very concerned about film preservation and has funded the digital scanning of these 3-strip Cinerama travelogue negatives.
