the LAST buffalo / About the film

Described as “a work of art” by the press, The Last Buffalo’s magical imagery and poetic visual storytelling demonstrated the tremendous possibilities of the revolutionary new IMAX 3D medium, helping drive forward the adoption of this technology around the world.

Produced for the Suntory pavilion at Expo 90 (Osaka, Japan), The Last Buffalo became one of the most popular attractions at the fair, drawing over 1,940,000 viewers over six months. The film was the second produced in the revolutionary 15/70 3D medium for IMAX 3D theaters; it went on from its Expo debut to be exhibited in theaters around the world. The film is still exhibited more than a decade-and-a-half after its release.
