11 Marzo 2015 - 3:08PM
Barco, the worldwide market share leader in digital cinema,
presented its new three-screen movie format
Barco
Escape at the first ever 'Future of Film' Showcase at
Cinequest. The annual independent film festival in San Jose, CA
highlights the work of new and existing filmmakers and the film
technologies that are changing the industry.
Barco Escape premiered several exciting new pieces of content at
Cinequest to packed houses all three days of its showcase,
including a sneak preview of its upcoming concert film with Tony
Bennett and Lady Gaga. The movie, which was shot natively for the
format and follows the duo behind the scenes and on stage during a
performance at the Grand'place in Brussels, will
be released in Barco Escape theaters this spring.
Other new content included shorts from key directors chosen by
the festival, a stunning 18-minute documentary titled Escape to
Burning Man, and Golden Gate, a pre-visualization of a thriller
created for Barco Escape by 20th Century Fox President of Post
Production Ted Gagliano.
The showcase also marked the debut of an epic adventure sports
piece created for Barco Escape by Devin Graham, best known as the
prolific live action filmmaker Devin Supertramp by his nearly 3
million subscribers on YouTube.
"It was fantastic to watch audiences react to Barco Escape at
Cinequest and hear their comments after the screenings," said Ted
Schilowitz Barco's CinemaVangelist. "The emotions in the
theater ranged from excitement, pure joy, laughter and a number of
'Wow, that was amazing!' moments. A few guests were even moved to
tears while the visuals surrounded them and truly brought them into
the experience in a way that a single screen movie could never do.
We learn so much each time we show off the Barco Escape format and
seeing the packed houses at Cinequest react so strongly was a good
indication that audiences do indeed want a more immersive and
powerful cinema experience."
Barco Escape introduced its technology to audiences in September
when it featured select scenes from director Wes Ball and 20th
Century Fox's hit film The Maze Runner in the format. To learn
