IMAX Corporation is a Canadian company founded in Montreal in 1967 by the filmmakers Graeme Ferguson, Roman Kroitor and Robert Kerr, who developed the idea for very large, immersive screens from the multi-screen films shown at Expo 67. The engineer William Shaw built the projection technology, and the company now designs and manufactures IMAX cameras and projection systems while also handling film development, post-production and distribution to affiliated theatres. Its first production on the new system was Tiger Child, shown at Expo 70 in Osaka. Investment bankers Richard Gelfond and Bradley Wechsler bought the company in a leveraged buyout in 1994 and listed it on the NASDAQ exchange, after which it turned to Hollywood studios and developed digital re-mastering. It is headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario, with operations in New York City and Los Angeles.
