Digital new films and films in production will also be screened for attendees on IMAX’s laser system throughout the conference.

“This year’s introduction of IMAX with laser is a milestone in giant screen cinema technology, and we are pleased to be able to showcase it,” says GSCA Executive Director Tammy Seldon. “Thanks to the AMC Metreon’s decision to install the system now, our delegates will be among the first to see it.”
