Campaign Launches To Restore IMAX Film ‘Titanica’

Hello. I am a filmmaker that is passionate about cinema and the IMAX film format. I had the honor to connect and have an extensive conversation with Director Stephen Low about this forgotten project, in which I will keep the many details of our conversation under wraps. However, I was told many stories about the production that has inspired me as an artist and blew my mind, as would so many minds of film and Titanic aficionados. So here is the breakdown.

"Titanica" is an IMAX 70mm Film that was Directed by Stephen Low and released in IMAX Film Theaters in 1992. Since then, the original film has been lost. What only currently exists of the true IMAX version optical 35mm print-down of the original 95 minute Director's Cut on VHS and Laserdisc, which are now obsolete. What is currently only available on DVD is a downscaled, additional reshoot filled, recut and shortened for television, rescored, and re-narrated in abysmal quality version. Ultimately the cut that is currently out for the public is a stolen version that does not even hold the vision to what Mr. Low and the deep sea crew accomplished. To this day, IMAX has not allowed Mr. Low and his company access to the original negatives or a print for a proper remaster.  An IMAX 70mm Film Print of "Titanica" will still hold the highest 12K quality footage ever captured of the Titanic wreck. And as the years go on and Titanic furthers its disintegration underwater, this unbelievable footage has the ship mostly intact in how it was originally discovered. As the fandom and interest grows with the ill fated ship at an astronomical rate every year, this is the definitive film that will make every Titanic enthusiast water at the mouth. Also, the motion picture was also not cut as a traditional documentary, as the film is presented as a narrative in its approach; as if it was conceived as a fictional drama that just happens to be 100% factual. Featuring last surviving passenger of the Titanic, Eva Hart, Low has personally told me that she herself got to experience the original IMAX 70mm Film in Theaters and " she was enchanted by it". So I implore IMAX to reach out to the Stephen Low company to give us the lost, but true, experience of the greatest shipwreck in the world presented in the best film format in existence.
