“We
are delighted to be presenting our cost-effective EclairColor HDR technology to
CineEurope attendees,” explains Ymagis Group CEO & co-founder Jean Mizrahi.
“We are making great progress in marketing our new brand and building a strong
line-up of films available in EclairColor in our first two territories: France
and Germany. 36 feature films including ‘La La Land’ and ‘The Lost City of Z,’ directed
respectively by Damien Chazelle and James Gray, have been released or have been
committed to by international and independent distributors both in France and
in Germany.”
“With
EclairColor, the benefits for moviegoers with a significantly enhanced image
are real,” comments Till Cussmann, SVP CinemaNext. “The color range is much
richer, the gradients much more refined, even in the darkest colors. Cinemas,
from the earliest days, have been on the cutting edge of image and sound
innovation, and they must remain an experience unlike any other.”
