Elevating the cinema experience in Cannes

Celebrating our passion for cinema

At the heart of cinema is a passion for the art form. From the generations that fell in love with a John Williams score at the start of an epic space opera to a generation growing up with a cinematic universe of superheroes, the love of cinema starts early and lasts a lifetime. Celebrate with us by sharing our new Technology That Loves Cinema trailer.
