Tron: Legacy + Cinema Audio Society Panel

This event has passed

Filmed right here in Vancouver, the belated followup is ripe for reassessment after director Joseph Kosinski’s recent triumph with Top Gun: Maverick. When Flynn (Jeff Bridges), the world’s greatest video game creator, sends out a secret signal from an amazing digital realm, his son (Garrett Hedlund) discovers the clue and embarks on a personal journey to save his long-lost father. With the help of the fearless female warrior Quorra (Olivia Wilde), father and son venture through an incredible cyber universe to wage the ultimate battle of good versus evil.

While Steve Lisberger’s original Tron anticipated the cyber culture that was still in its infancy in the early 80s, Kosinski’s film reaps the benefits of advanced digital technology to create an astonishing aesthetic overload: a stunning use of colour and Daft Punk’s throbbing soundtrack combine to create a virtual world you want to get lost in.

This screening will be preceded by a 45-minute panel discussion featuring the sound crew who worked on Tron: Legacy, including sound mixer Michael McGee, boom operator Don Brown, and sound assistant Juniper Watters, plus Mark Noda, sound mixer on Tron 3.

Moderated by Kyle Petty, CAS, chair IATSE Local 891 Sound Department.

The Fall (4K Restoration)

Dir. Tarsem Singh
119 min

Shot over four years across 24 countries, cowritten by a six year old girl, and entirely self-financed by commercials director Tarsem, The Fall is such a mind- (and eye) boggling movie it's hard to believe it actually exists. Yet here it is!

The Manchurian Candidate

Dir. Jonathan Demme
130 min

Jonathan Demme's superbly orchestrated take on Richard Condon's 1959 paranoia novel feels weirdly prescient in its anxieties around global corporate brainwashing, war profiteering, assassination and election fixing.

Winter Kills

Dir. William Richert
97 min

An inspired black comic adaptation of the ultimate conspiracy theory, based on a novel by Richard (Manchurian Candidate) Condon. It's a lunatic riff on the Kennedy assassination(s), with Jeff Bridges finding who really killed his brother, the President. Screening in 35mm print.
