Once again, Barco is bringing to life several virtual reality and art
installations at the New Frontier exhibition at Sundance with its large
venue projectors and presentation switchers. The world’s largest
independent film festival also uses Barco digital cinema projectors in
all 23 of its movie theater venues for official screenings.
For the third year, SFF organizers selected Barco projectors because of
their high brightness and photo-realistic color image presentation, in
addition to an ideal combination of size, weight and power, which
facilitates efficient installation and operation.
“Innovation is something that New Frontier and the Sundance Film
Festival continually seek out, with a strong desire to advance, evolve
and always be on the leading edge,” comments Jamie McMurry, Producer and
Designer for Sundance Film festival. “We feel that Barco shares that
desire and is not only a committed partner in the industry, but also a
collaborator in supporting artists and developers in the advancement of
visual storytelling.”
In addition to the awards and closing night events, Barco projectors will be used in numerous exhibits, including:
Treachery of Sanctuary
The Leviathan Project
Double Conscience
Inextinguishable Fire
The
Holo-Cinema
offers a rare look at the innovations in immersive entertainment being
developed inside ILMxLAB—an advanced media lab and development group
that is a collaboration between Lucasfilm Story Group, Industrial Light
& Magic, and Skywalker Sound. This new scenic design and experience
theater allows participants to step inside iconic story moments, walk
around the performing characters, and explore worlds as they portal
inside a fully immersive media environment.
The Sundance Film Festival is occurring now through January 31 in Park City, Utah.
