Christie projection drives London Film Festival
- Details
Dominic Simmons, head of technical services at the BFI, says, "Christie RGB pure laser projectors show extremely vivid colours and contrast on the screen. Last year, directors and film representatives witnessed their work on the Christie Real|Laser illuminated projector and loved what they saw. I'm pleased that we're able to again screen films in high quality using Christie for the Royal Festival Hall."
Christie cinema sales manager, Phil Lord, comments: “It’s a pleasure to continue our longstanding partnership with the BFI and the BFI London Film Festival this year, allowing us to provide projection befitting of such a prestigious event. With our RGB pure laser technology, the latest films shine brightly, with exceptional colour reproduction and vibrant images.
Featuring CineLife+ electronics and Real|Laser illumination, Christie RGB pure laser cinema projectors exceed DCI standards, excel in image quality and brightness, operational efficiency, and offer reduced costs and increased sustainability.
The Festival’s opening night saw the International Premiere of Saltburn directed, produced and written by Academy Award winner Emerald Fennell, starring Barry Keoghan, Jacob Elordi, Rosamund Pike, Richard E. Grant, Alison Oliver, Archie Madekwe and Carey Mulligan.
This year’s American Express Gala film was One Life starring Anthony Hopkins. Headline galas also included the Martin Scorsese film Killers of the Flower Moon and Bradley Cooper’s Maestro. The festival closed with the World Premiere of Kibwe Tavares & Daniel Kaluuya’s The Kitchen, co-written by Joe Murtagh, who was awarded Christie’s Most Promising Student Award at the National Film and Television School in 2015.
