Chris Lane, Repertory Sales Manager at Sony Pictures Entertainment, will also host a presentation on the benefits and challenges of repertory film programming, sharing details about the breadth of Sony’s library, the availability of 4K restorations and new titles being added.
“We are at a true tipping point in the art house community, with theater owners increasingly realizing the benefits of digital conversion,” said Russ Collins, Art House Convergence Chair and Executive Director and CEO of Michigan Theater (Ann Arbor, Mich.), which has two Sony 4K projection systems installed. “Those that have already converted and others still planning to will learn a great deal from the wealth of information provided at this conference, and we’re proud to have Sony join us.”
