"In the Labyrinth" was a groundbreaking multi-screen presentation at Expo 67. It used 35mm and 70mm film projected simultaneously on multiple screens and was the precursor of today's IMAX format.

It was hailed as a "stunning visual display" by "Time" magazine, which concludes: "such visual delights as Labyrinth ... suggest that cinema—the most typical of 20th century arts—has just begun to explore its boundaries and possibilities."

"In the Labyrinth" was co-directed by Roman Kroitor, Colin Low and Hugh O'Connor and produced by the National Film Board of Canada. Kroitor left the NFB shortly after to co-found Multi-Screen Corporation, which later became IMAX Corporation.

Labyrinth pavilion

The Labyrinth consisted of three main chambers: Theatre One, which ran two 70mm projectors in a unique floor-and-end-wall combination; The Maze, an apparently limitless series of mirrors and red "grain-of-wheat" bulbs; and Theatre Three, which projected five simulataneous 35mm projections in a cross formation.

Post-1967

In 1979, the NFB re-issued "In the Labyrinth" in a single-screen format.
