BOZEMAN, MT. (March 03, 2013) – The epic of all epics, Lawrence
of Arabia cements director David Lean's status in the filmmaking
pantheon with nearly four hours of grand scope, brilliant
performances, and beautiful cinematography. Widely considered one
of the greatest and most influential films in the his-tory of
cinema, this masterpiece returns to the big screen in Bozeman
exactly 50 years to the day after its historic sweep of the Academy
Awards on April 8th, 1963. Viewers will be mesmerized by this 4K
digitally-restored version of the Director’s Cut. Following its
international debut at Festival Du Cannes in May 2012, Lawrence of
Arabia has screened nationwide in digital-only theatrical events in
theaters since its U.S. premiere of the new restoration took place
in Los Angeles with a special 4K presentation at the Academy of
Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The Bozeman Film Festival is now
pleased to present this beautifully restored film to Bozeman’s
Gallatin Valley Cinema on Monday - April 8th, 2013 at 6:30pm. See
this masterpiece the way it was meant to be seen!
“Lawrence of Arabia” stars Peter O’Toole in his career-making
performance as T.E. Lawrence. A young, idealistic British officer
in WWI, Lawrence is assigned to the camp of Prince Feisal, an Arab
tribal chieftain and leader in a revolt against the Turks. In a
series of brilliant tactical maneuvers, Lawrence leads 50 of
Feisal’s men in a tortured three-week crossing of the Nefud Desert
to attack the strategic Turkish-held port of Aqaba. Following his
successful raids against Turkish troops and trains, Lawrence’s
triumphant leadership and unyielding courage gain him nearly
god-like status among his Arab brothers. Also starring Omar
Shariff, Anthony Quinn, Alek Guiness, Jose Ferrer, Jack Hawkins.
Oscar Winning Score by Maurice Jarre. Nominated for 10 Academy
Awards®, it went on to win seven, including Best Picture and Best
Director.
The original camera negative was scanned at 8K and the film went
through a painstaking process of re-pairing problems inherent to
the 50-year old film elements. Using the latest digital imaging
technology, the color grading and re-mastering was completed in 4K
at Sony Pictures Colorworks. “The original negative was seriously
damaged in a number of ways, some problems dating from the original
release and some accumulated over the years. But, until now, we did
not have the tools available to address these issues. We think fans
of the film will be as amazed as we are at the detail and
resolution in the imagery captured by cinematographer Freddie Young
to compliment David Lean’s immaculate direction.” Production Team,
Sony Colorworks
“Approach it from whatever angle you like, performances, script,
cinematography, score; David Lean's sweeping biography of T.E.
Lawrence is unarguably magnificent” Colin Colvert-Minneapolis Star
