Produced by Bethsabée Mucho and distributed by Pathé, “Dalida” is 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.”
