Christie To Provide Digital Projection For The 64th Cannes Film Festival
Christie, a leading provider of digital projection solutions, has announced that it is the sole provider for all digital projection services at this year's Cannes International Film Festival, including the Official Selection and the Marché du Film.
The company is an official Technical Partner of the Festival, which runs from May 11 - 22 2011, for the fifth consecutive year.
As a Technical Partner, Christie will provide its DLP Digital Cinema projectors for the screening of major digital titles throughout the entire festival. Of the 23 screening rooms that will use digital projection equipment at this year's festival, 13 will be equipped with Christie Solaria Series projectors. Compliant with all DCI (Digital Cinema Initiatives) specifications, the Christie Solaria range is scalable and ideally suited to 4K digital cinema.
Moreover, the Christie Solaria's Brilliant 3D technology also provides the brightest 3D projection available, with an output of 32,000 ANSI lumens. Since its introduction one year ago, the Christie Solaria Series has been central to the massive growth of digital cinema around the world and in France, where the projectors have garnered wide acclaim for Christie, specifically from independent operators.
Richard Nye, Christie's Cinema Sales Director, EMEA, commented: "With each new year, we are honoured to provide all digital projection services for the Cannes Film Festival. The trust that the festival's organisers have placed in us is evidence of the reliability and performance of our digital cinema projectors."
