Is there a better way to prove the virtue of the cinematic experience than to get 5,000 people on their feet giving a film a standing ovation?
Industry players also turned up, notably MK2 Films’ co-CEOs Nathanael and Elisha Karmitz, Series Mania’s director Laurence Herszberg, Ad Vitam co-founder Alexandra Henochsberg, the Annecy Film Festival head Mickaël Marin, and “The Innocent” producer, Anne-Dominique Toussaint. The opening night event was held in the city’s historic 5,000-seat Tony Garnier concert venue which Frémaux called “the biggest cinema theatre in the world.
“Today, it’s not just about screening classics, but about screening cinema as a whole,” continued the artistic director, who is also welcoming at the festival Tim Burton, who will receive the Prix Lumière, its prestigious honorary award; James Gray, who is presenting “Armageddon Time” and participating in a masterclass; as well as Guillermo del Toro with “Pinocchio” and Alejandro González Iñárritu with “Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths.
“It’s a chance to discover a long-lost masterpiece,” said Fremaux, whose Lumière Institute, an org dedicated to the preservation of heritage cinema, is giving the film a second life.
