Opasniye Povoroty, also known as Dangerous Turns [English], was the first dramatic film shot in the Soviet-designed Kinopanorama format. The screenplay concerns the love of two rival motorcycle drivers for one of two twin-sisters. The film was shot in Estonia in 1960-61, and released internationally in 1962. In 1999, Fifth Continent Australia Pty Ltd and Vision 146 SARL commissioned the restoration of 2-reels from the 11-reel film. These have since been screened at the former New Neon Movies in Dayton, Ohio, USA, the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood, California, and most recently at the Bradford Widescreen Festival on 19 March, 2008. Plans to restore the remaining reels were abandoned in 2001 due to the high cost of the complete restoration.
