A labour of love.

Courtesy of our brilliant projection team, take a look behind the scenes at how we prepped The Odyssey's 70mm print - one of just a handful in the UK.

Physical projection adds an amazing level of visual and audio detail to the cinema experience, and we're very proud to be keeping the art alive 📽️
