CinemaNext, the European specialist in cinema exhibitor services
(Ymagis Group - ISIN: FR0011471291 TICKER: MAGIS), is pleased today to announce
that it recently equipped Paris’ Pathé Wepler cinema with EclairColor projection
technology.
In conjunction with the installation, Eclair’s post-production
teams have remastered Lisa Azuelos’ “Dalida,” opening in cinemas across France
this Wednesday, the 11th of January, using EclairColor digital color
technology. A revolutionary new digital color solution that combines post-production
processes and the optimization of select projection system technologies,
EclairColor provides cinemas with unparalleled image projection quality.
Produced by Bethsabée Mucho and distributed by Pathé,
"Dalida" will be available in EclairColor at the following locations:
Paris’ Pathé Wepler & Gaumont Champs-Elysées (Gaumont Marignan), Cinéma
Confluences (Varennes-sur-Seine) and Les Variétés (Marseille). The Pathé
Wepler’s 378-seat Auditorium 1 marks the sixteenth EclairColor-equipped cinema
in France and the sixth Parisian site after the Gaumont Champs-Elysées, Etoile
Saint-Germain, Studio 28, the Filmothèque du quartier Latin and the Espace St
Michel.
"EclairColor technology offers cinemas the
opportunity to significantly improve their projection quality at minimal cost.
Far from being elitist, this new technology, based on a range of projectors
already in use in many cinemas, is accessible to all exhibitors,” said Ymagis
Group founder, chairman & CEO Jean Mizrahi. “EclairColor projectors have
been designed to offer exhibitors greater programming flexibility, as they can
be used to show either 2K or 4K content in both standard DCI format and in
EclairColor.”
"With ‘Dalida’ in EclairColor, audiences will discover
an unprecedented image quality with richer colours and heightened details that
reflect the colorimetry originally envisioned by the film’s creative teams,"
said Maxime Rigaud, Managing Director, CinemaNext France. "We are thrilled
with our ongoing partnership with Les Cinémas Gaumont Pathé. This latest
EclairColor installation comes just a few weeks after our teams equipped the
Gaumont Champs-Elysées, a strong sign of their confidence in this new
technology."
Developed by Ymagis Group engineers, EclairColor is a revolutionary digital
color solution that combines a post-production process innovated by Eclair with
the optimization of select projection system technologies available from
CinemaNext. EclairColor is available to all French cinema exhibitors,
regardless of screen size or type.
