exploration
From Hubble to Mecca, OMSI Film Festival lifts off
By Jenny Harada The Bulletin
T
his spring, you can experience exotic locations without the jet lag or worrying about volcanic ash leaving you stranded. From the comfort of the OMNIMAX Dome Theater, the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) will explore places like Mount Everest, Egypt, the Amazon, India and even outer space during the 2010 OMSI Film Festival. Featuring 21 educational and documentary IMAX films, the festival will run May 4-June 27 in Portland. Built in 1992, the OMNIMAX Dome Theater features a five-story domed screen and a 330-seat, 30-degree seating platform. Images are projected with a fish-eye lens, surrounding the audience and covering most of the viewer’s peripheral vision, according to a press release. The large image produces the sensation of being in the movie. The festival highlights include the new IMAX blockbuster “Hubble” and the inter-
national hit “Journey to Mecca” as well as “Adrenaline Rush,” “Journey into Amazing Caves,” “Amazon,” “Deep Sea” and “Roving Mars.” To see a full schedule, visit www .omsi.edu. OMSI is offering several passes for the film festival. For $80, the Director’s Pass grants the pass holder and a guest admission to all 21 films, any time during the festival. The Producer’s Pass ($40) admits the pass holder and guest to any four films of their choice. The Producer’s Pass is also available for individuals for $22. All pass holders receive one free popcorn for each show. Passes are only available for purchase at the OMSI ticket desk. For individual films, tickets are $8.50 for adults and $6.50 for youth and seniors. Shows starting after 6 p.m. are $6 for adults and $5 for youth and seniors.
