Operator

⚠ We could not confirm this venue is still operating — check before travelling. LF Examiner records an Evans & Sutherland (non-IMAX) dome (2005) and the venue calls it a Large Format Film Theatre, not IMAX; the official site (pgsciencecity.punjab.gov.in) refuses connections, so current status is unverified rather than assumed closed.

This is a dome. The area above is the projected surface, worked out from the diameter by convention rather than measured — and it wraps above and behind you, so it isn't the same thing as the frontal area of a flat screen. Treat the score as a rough peer of the flat screens around it, not a like-for-like comparison.

⚠ A 2021 industry listing recorded a 15/70mm film projector here, and we could find nothing to confirm or refute it. Most multiplex film systems were removed years ago; many museum ones still run. Rather than guess either way, this venue is scored as if the projector were unknown — so if it does still run film, the score below understates it substantially.

No source on file names the projector in this room. It is the weakest field we hold across the network.
