Christie is to continue its support of the British Film Institute for its 70th edition of the BFI London Film Festival, October 7 to 18. A Christie CP4455-RGB pure laser cinema projector be used for premieres and galas in the 2,700-seat Royal Festival Hall.
Reflecting on his many experiences with Christie laser projection, Dominic Simmons, head of cinema
technology at the BFI, said, "We’re delighted to be partnering with Christie for the 6th year
in a row. Every presentation has been fantastic. Each time Christie has given us incremental
improvements in picture quality. We know that all the Gala films will really pop.”
“Installing the
projector has become a very smooth operation and the onboard calibration and blending tools ensure
that we can get every film looking its best,” he continued. “This is vital not only
because we have over 2000 pairs of eyes at each screening, but often filmmaking teams,
too. There's plenty to keep the BFI technical team on its toes at the LFF, but
we don’t have to worry about achieving high-quality presentation at Royal Festival Hall."
