VistaVision, a vintage format left for dead, is revived

VistaVision, the large-scale film format used largely in the 1950s, is enjoying a big-screen revival. At the Academy Awards on March 15, a movie made largely with decades-old antique film equipment is poised to win best picture. “One Battle After Another” is the first film in more than 60 years largely shot with and projected in VistaVision. Another best-picture nominee, “Bugonia,” was also shot on VistaVision. Even in 2026, when most films are shot digitally and AI has begun filtering into moviemaking, the films have showed that a vintage, analog film system can still astonish moviegoers.

As a side note, Historic England is really annoying. The Newcastle image is clearly in the public domain (1894!), but historicengland.org.uk doesn't provide a download, or any other way of getting it, without applying for reproduction permission and paying a fee. The site seems to have a lot of images that would be under copyright, but this one is not.
