In anticipation of the release of The Odyssey, TIFF has announced a new summer cycle at the Bell Lightbox titled Christopher Nolan: Grand Designs, in celebration of the Academy Award-winning filmmaker’s work. According to a press release, the retrospective series will celebrate Christopher Nolan‘s work with screenings presented in both 35mm and 70mm film. The event will take place from July 8 to August 20.
To launch the series, critics Sean Fennessey and Amanda Dobbins will tape a live episode of The Big Picture at the Lightbox, marking the first time an episode of the popular Spotify podcast will be recorded in Canada.
In a statement, TIFF Chief Programming Officer Anita Lee said, “The marquee series at TIFF Lightbox was envisioned to present big artists and ideas that capture and shape popular imagination. Christopher Nolan is one of the most influential voices in contemporary cinema today where each new film is a cultural event, while anime continues to explode as an art force shaping global entertainment across mediums. These programmes offer audiences of all ages a compelling look at the scale, creativity, and innovation that define film today.”
In a joint statement, Fennessey and Dobbins said, “We’ve enjoyed many hours of lively conversation around Christopher Nolan’s films, so we’re thrilled to join TIFF for this summer’s series. We can’t wait to bring our show to Canada for the first time to record a very special episode and screen one of our Nolan faves, Tenet, for Toronto movie lovers.”
