An exceptional session. Le Fresnoy, Charbon Studio, and CHAF invite you to experience at Le Fresnoy the sensory impact of projection technologies of yesterday, today, and tomorrow, gathered for the first time in the same cinema hall. A unique visual and sensory experience!
Four projectors are brought together in the same room: 35mm film, xenon, RGB laser, and phosphor laser.
The definition: 4K, four times more detail… does it carry us further than 2K?
The laser takes over, the xenon slowly goes out… does an emotion disappear?
The frame rate: 24 frames per second, the historical pulse of cinema, does it still have that unique breath compared to the high frame rates (HFR) of blockbusters?
Do the different laser technologies (Phosphor, RGB) change what our eyes see?
The experience goes beyond digital: a 35mm projection and a YouTube MP4 on a big screen will accentuate the sensory gap.
The screening will be followed by a discussion session with imaging professionals.
The guests:
Marie-Sarah Piron, colorist
Tim Mendler, VFX supervisor
Guillaume Neaud, head of projection equipment collections
Michaël Cinquin, post-production supervisor
Two unprecedented sessions, at 5 PM and 7 PM, lasting 2 hours (screenings + discussions)
