International. Christie's projection technologies, including pure RGB laser, laser and Xenon lighting systems, will be deployed in 24 venues at the Cannes Film Festival, which runs from 13 to 24 May, including the iconic Grand Théâtre Lumière and the open-air screen at the Cinéma de la Plage.
More than 40,000 attendees will enjoy this international benchmark event, which will be attended by numerous film stars on its mythical red carpet.
"The Festival de Cannes remains one of the most prestigious and iconic events on the film calendar, and it is a real honour to once again participate as an Official Screening Partner," said Adil Zerouali, Vice President of Sales EMEA at Christie.
As part of the festival's technical activities, Zerouali will give a presentation entitled "Go to the dark(er) side with VDR: optimizing the cinematic experience", within the framework of CanneS Technique, where he will address the potential of variable dynamic range (VDR) to raise visual quality in digital projection environments.
Among the most anticipated films of this edition are Scarlett Johansson's directorial debut with Eleanor the Great and her collaboration with Wes Anderson on The Phoenician Scheme; the ambitious Eddington, by Ari Aster, with a stellar cast led by Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal and Emma Stone; as well as Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning.
