The Beatles Yellow Submarine 50th Anniversary

[cgpublic]

Screened at the Alamo Drafthouse Yonkers with a Sony Digital Studio 4K projection. Interest remains high even though the 4K restoration has been available for a few years as the shows were sold out across the board. Highly recommended, you can check showtimes near you here:



For a bit of background, from the LA Times.

Nice write-up from Variety:

"To commemorate its 50th anniversary, 'Yellow Submarine' is being re-released, in a startling new 4K print (it was cleaned and restored by hand, one frame at a time), by Abramorama, the distribution company that had a success two years ago with Ron Howard’s deft and revealing early-Beatles-on-tour documentary 'Eight Days a Week.' The 'Yellow Submarine' revival kicked off on Monday, July 9, and the movie, which is playing in 79 theaters, will be expanding throughout the summer. It’s a delight to go back to, or to see for the first time, and what unites those two experiences is that even now, in the middle of the renaissance age of animation, 'Yellow Submarine' stands apart, reminding you of what a cartoon feature can truly be: a miraculous mutating object that keeps flipping reality inside out."

By the way, just in case anyone gets fooled by the 'Startling New 4k' marketing, this is exactly the same restoration that the 2012 Blu Ray came from.

Yes, as noted above, but I believe this is the first theatrical screening with a 4K DCP using 4K-capable projectors.

In the case of Alamo, with beer being served.

No LSD being provided at the screening then no sale.
