Barco, the worldwide market share
leader in digital cinema projection, is innovating and setting a new standard for the
most powerful and engaging experiences in cinema. The collaboration with veteran cinema strategist and
movie technology futurist Ted Schilowitz will center around the launch of CinemaBarco,
and bring classic Hollywood showmanship back to the theater.
“Ted brings a refreshing,
childlike enthusiasm combined with his unique brand of disruption toward our
efforts in creating new, exhilarating and communal entertainment experiences,” comments
Todd Hoddick, Vice President Global Entertainment for Barco. “Best of all, he
reminds us just how much we can achieve when we kick our mutual talents into
high gear, and have fun doing it! What we have to show you at Cinemacon is a
result of all that good work.”
Bringing showmanship to a new community of moviegoersSchilowitz is working
with Barco to launch CinemaBarco which celebrates the art, science and magic of
the movies and offers storytelling moments that can be implemented throughout
the cinema to create a compelling user experience that starts as soon as moviegoers
enter the lobby.
Raising the entertainment bar“Todd and I have been breaking new
ground together for years in our collaboration between Barco and Red Digital
Cinema, where we’ve showed off the wonders of ultra-high resolution movie
images using the best-of-breed 4K digital cinema projection systems from Barco,”
comments Schilowitz. “The Barco team and I share a powerful vision for
the future of cinema, one that will be exponentially more entertaining, more
captivating, and more thrilling than the typical moviegoing experience. We
can’t wait for audiences to experience our vision at CinemaCon.”
“Without revealing what we’ve been working on, I’ve had
an opportunity to spend time at Barco’s labs in Belgium, and I can tell you
it’s going to be something really worth seeing in a proper movie
theater in Las Vegas during CinemaCon. It’s even too big and radical to
contain in Caesars Palace, so we are inviting guests to join us to witness the
real thing, at a real movie theater near the convention site.
Schilowitz continues: “I highly
recommend you come on this cinema journey with us to experience CinemaBarco at
CinemaCon.”
