Director Christopher Nolan brought 60 Minutes to Fotokem in Burbank, California, to watch their artists assemble and color correct final release prints of “The Odyssey.” It’s the only motion picture film lab in the world that still produces 70 millimeter prints.

Nolan told Scott Pelley, “It’s a really marvelous thing to see… in this age of digitization, AI, all the rest, this is a human process. An analog process.” Coming to the Uptown Prytania Theatre in 70mm Film in July 2026

Elia Kazan’s 1955 picture EAST OF EDEN is Rene Brunet’s Classic Movie of the week!
Starring James Dean and based off John Steinbeck’s novel of the same name, East of Eden is lauded as one of the highlights of American cinema. Visually stunning with themes that are timeless, this is one you should see on the big screen “surrounded by all you good friends!” (iykyk 😉)
