KENNESAW,
GA, (January 14, 2005)
- Digital Projection International (DPI), an Emmy Award-winning
manufacturer of high-performance projection systems, announced it is
the Official Provider of digital projectors for the 2005 Sundance Film
Festival (January 20 to 30, Park City, Utah). This year's Festival is
highlighted by Sundance's use of DPI's 2K x 1K resolution LIGHTNING
35HD Professional Series projector in its largest venue, the Eccles
Theater.
At
the 2005 Sundance Film Festival, every category will have digital
entries, including high-definition premieres, documentaries, features
and shorts. Nearly half of the 202 scheduled features and shorts
screenings will be displayed in digital format by DPI's projectors in
15 venues. Additionally, DPI's projectors will also be employed as set
elements for the festival's Awards Ceremony being held at the Park City
Racquet Club on January 29.
“DPI
is a world-class company and a leader in digital technology,” said Ian
Calderon, Director of Digital Initiatives for the Sundance Institute.
“I turn to DPI because their projectors consistently deliver an amazing
palette of color, light and shadow in every one of our theaters. The
pictures speak for themselves, particularly with the new LIGHTNING
35HD.”
“Being
the Official Provider of digital projectors for the Sundance Film
Festival is a distinct honor, and we sincerely appreciate Mr.
Calderon's and the Sundance Institute's continued trust in our company
and products,” said Chuck Collins, senior market development manager,
Digital Projection, Inc.
In
addition to the LIGHTNING 35HD, the Festival is using an array of DPI's
3-chip DLP™ projectors, including the new MERCURY and HIGHlite
Professional series, to satisfy the viewing requirements in dissimilar
theatrical venues with screens of various sizes.
“Every
year, the most gratifying aspects of being a part of the Sundance Film
Festival are the compliments we receive from the artists who screen
their works with our projectors,” continued Collins. “Our focus on
providing the highest-quality digital imagery, no matter the venue, at
Sundance or anywhere else for that matter, has been and always will
remain a defining value of our company.”
