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.
State of the art.

One of the most popular French films of the past 25 years, Amelie is a delightfully whimsical confection from the ever-inventive Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Audrey Tautou stars as a young Parisienne who resolves to make the world a happier place...
The Conversation
Gene Hackman is Harry Caul, 'the best bugger on the West Coast', a surveillance expert whose jealously guarded anonymity is threatened when he happens across what seems to be a murder plot.
The Fall (4K Restoration)
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!
