Definition(s)

  • Giant screen films, known more commonly as IMAX films, are an emphatically visual mode of communication that premiered with the showing of Tiger Child (1970) at the Fuji Pavilion at Expo 1970 in Osaka, Japan. Today, these forms of visual display are characterized by specially designed two-dimensional (2-D) or three-dimensional (3-D) theaters, multistory screens, and surround sound audio systems.
