Ymagis
Group (ISIN: FR0011471291, MNEMO: MAGIS, PEA-PME
eligible), the European specialist in digital technologies for the film
industry, announced the EclairColor re-release of LA LA LAND (Lionsgate) in
Germany this Friday 3 February. Distributed in Germany by StudioCanal and
directed by Damien Chazelle, LA LA LAND, starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, will
be released in EclairColor in the following German cinemas: Nuremberg’s Cinecitta’
Multiplexkino and Eiszeit-Kino in Berlin.
“We are delighted
to have the opportunity, in conjunction with the EclairColor release of the
highly-acclaimed LA LA LAND, to announce our first two EclairColor cinemas in
Germany equipped by CinemaNext,” said Jean Mizrahi, co-founder and Chief
Executive Officer of Ymagis Group. “Germany is key to our European EclairColor
roll-out strategy and receiving such a note of confidence in our innovative
technology from several of our German customers is fantastic. EclairColor
offers cinemas the opportunity to significantly improve projection quality at
an affordable cost and also benefit from flexible planning since EclairColor
projectors can be used to play content in both standard format (DCI) and in
EclairColor.”
“We like the fact
that EclairColor is bringing, brighter and more dynamic imaging to cinemas. The
image quality absolutely matches that of other HDR solutions,” said Wolfram
Weber, Managing Director of Cinecitta’ Multiplexkino. “We especially favour the
more open approach of EclairColor, bringing HDR content to all kinds of cinema
screens using hardware that cinema operators can buy ‘off the shelf’ vs. other
revenue share-based models. We believe that HDR technology will be an important
part of the cinema industry going forward. Thanks to the powerful high-contrast
Sony Digital Cinema 4K SRX-515DS dual projection system we are able to show EclairColor
on six of our screens.”
"With LA LA
LAND in EclairColor, audiences will discover unprecedented image quality with
richer colours and heightened details," explains Karl-Joachim Lohkamp,
General Manager of CinemaNext Germany. "We are thrilled with our ongoing
partnership with Cinecitta’ and Eiszeit-Kino. EclairColor is a revolutionary
new technology combining colour science with the optimisation of Sony Digital
Cinema 4K projection systems to achieve image projection of unparalleled
quality. In France, 16 screens to date have been equipped with EclairColor.”
Brighter, sharper,
with more depth of field, more density and more detail, the images produced by
EclairColor technology have better contrast and greater fidelity, better
reflecting the colour initially intended by the creative teams. Adaptable to
all types of cinema from art-house to the largest multiplexes, whatever the
screen size, EclairColor significantly improves the projection quality of all
films and thus brings a new dimension to the cinema experience. EclairColor™ is
