An experience like no other
Christie VDR™ is coming to CineLife+ projectors in 2026, offering exhibitors increased energy efficiency and a longer laser lifetime. Audiences will see a new vividly dramatic reality with up to 10,000:1 contrast.
For 20 years, Christie has helped light up festival screens with the brightest stars on the Croisette during the Cannes Film Festival.
The audiences at the 79th annual Festival de Cannes saw the competition films projected exclusively with laser for the first time ever! It was a beautiful experience on the beaches and throughout the picturesque town. Where better to debut such marvelous films? We are proud to wrap up our 20th year as the projection partner for Cannes and hope you all enjoyed the festival as much as we did.
You’ll find our Real|Laser™ technology in the Grand Théâtre Lumière, Debussy room, and La Plage, the festival’s outdoor theatre on the beach.

At the heart of cinema is a passion for the art form. From the generations that fell in love with an epic space opera to those growing up with a cinematic universe of superheroes, the love of cinema starts early and lasts a lifetime.
