Testimonials

On In Glorious Smell-O-Vision

Congrats on a fabulous screening last night. It was a great tribute to and experience of Smell-O-Vision. The screening alone was so impressive let alone the doco. Really impressive work by you and the team.

Deborah Boerne (Producer, Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Wonderful night, and what an amazing job pulling all that together – both the experience of it for us and the story you told in the film, and such moving stories about both the men behind the scent of mystery.

Kate Stone (Discipline Lead for Screenwriting, AFTRS)

It was really great to see the film on the big screen and experience the Smellorama in the cinema with other people. I’m proud to have played a small part in the production of the film!

Carolyn Saul (Film Archive Producer & Researcher)

Recommendation of Smell-O-Vision event
The Danish Film Institute’s Cinematheque had the great pleasure of hosting a Smell-O-Vision screening of ‘Scent of Mystery’ on October 22nd 2015 organised in cooperation with Tamara Burnstock, Saskia Wilson-Brown, David Strohmaier and Randy Gitsch.
The event was a big success both practically, aesthetically and as a means of creating awareness of film history (the event was part of a broader Cinerama festival programme).
In terms of media attention, the Smell-O-Vision event was a phenomenal hit, sparking TV and radio radio coverage, newspaper and web media articles. It was a significant factor in making the festival a surprisingly large audience success overall.
I warmly recommend it to other venues and would warmly welcome back the team another time.

Rasmus Brendstrup (Programmer, Danish Film Institute Cinematheque)
