Tiger Child was created for Expo ’70 in Osaka, Japan, and premiered at the Fuji Group Pavilion. It was the first IMAX film and required the audience to move through the viewing space. While the audience was carried through the theater continuously on a large rotating platform, each observer viewed the endless film from a different starting point. The theme of the film was the human experience.
