See and hear actual historical film footage demonstrating the evolution of 35mm stereo optical film soundtracks, from the first experimental recordings made by Alan Blumlein in 1934 through to today's digital soundtracks. The steady progress in technical performance will be described by Ioan Allen, Oscar recipient, AES Fellow, and recipient of the AES Silver Medal award. Mr. Allen spearheaded the introduction of many breakthrough film audio formats that have revolutionized the film sound experience.
