This is because film stock is no longer milled for KS 'positive perforation'. In 2007, a crystal-sync motor replaced the original 24-volt DC variable speed motor as well as the 240-volt 3-phase 50-hertz synch motor. Kinopanorama cinemas Seven cinemas designed (or renovated) for the exhibition of 3-film (and later 70mm) Kinopanorama were built in the former USSR from 1958 onwards. The Mir Kino Theatre, which opened in Moscow on 28 February 1958, was followed by others in Leningrad and Kiev. A Kinopanorama cinema later opened in Paris, France. These cinemas employed equipment designed and manufactured in the Soviet Union. Presently, the National Media Museum, ArcLight's Cinerama Dome and the Seattle Cinerama in Seattle, Washington, are equipped to exhibit 3-film Kinopanorama. The Kinopanorama Widescreen Preservation Association, Incorporated, was established in New South Wales, Australia in January 2010. Presently, the society has applied for state and government funding, which is expected to cover operating costs, including the purchase of custom re-built equipment, so that a future volunteer-operated Kinopanorama cinema in the vicinity of Broken Hill may exhibit 3-panel films (including Kinopanorama, Cinemiracle and Cinerama) in the future.
