HARKNESS SCREENS PROVIDES PERLUX® DIGITAL 180 SCREEN TO FILMKUNSTMESSE 2011
LEIPZIG, GERMANY, 22ND SEPTEMBER 2011 — Harkness Screens, the world’s leading manufacturer of projection screens for cinema and events applications, sponsored Filmkunstmesse, a leading German film festival and trade fair in Leipzig to provide a Perlux® Digital 180 Screen.
Organized by AG Kino, the German Arthouse Cinema Guild, the trade fair and festival which ran from September 19-23, offered industry figures and the general public an advanced viewing of upcoming international arthouse and independent films.
The 9.5m x 5.5m Perlux gain screen installed at the Passage Kino in Leipzig was used to display both digital 2D and Volfoni Active 3D presentations.
“We were fortunate to be given the opportunity to work with Cine Project who requested and installed the screen and subsequently managed the digital projection for the festival. The event gave the opportunity for a number of fantastic films to be showcased before their release and we were delighted to be associated with the festival.” explained Tony Dilley, International Sales Manager at Harkness Screens.
Considered by leading cinema exhibitors worldwide to be the premier gain projection surface, Perlux® Digital is Ideal for larger screens with active and passive 3D technologies (not using polarised light), such as Dolby 3D, and for large 2D screens, Perlux® Digital requires minimal colour correction during projector setup, thus reducing the complexity of converting to digital.
Harkness’ Perlux® brand gain screens (Perlux® 140, Perlux® 180 and Perlux® 220) are suitable for both 2D and 3D screen projection for any size theatre.
