Current IMAX films are limited to 35 min or so because that much film fills the film supply reels, which are about 4 feet in diameter and weigh hundreds of pounds when filled. To show a 1-hour film they would either have to modify the supply and takeup reel transport, or have an intermission while reels were changed.
