The collaboration between A24 and Imax to launch a monthly screening program featuring indie films marks a significant development in the cinema landscape. The series will debut on March 27 with a screening of Alex Garland's acclaimed film, Ex Machina (2014), followed by an exclusive preview of Garland's upcoming movie, Civil War. Civil War, a dystopian film, is set for a wide release in North America on April 12 after its premiere at SXSW.
Imax's recent success with films like Dune: Part Two and Oppenheimer has elevated its status in the industry. The recognition received at the Oscars, particularly for Oppenheimer, further solidified Imax's position. Director Christopher Nolan's praise for Imax CEO Rich Gelfond highlighted the importance of the partnership between filmmakers and the large-format exhibitor.
Imax's commitment to showcasing a diverse range of films is evident in its collaboration with A24. The screening series will feature digitally remastered classics from A24's extensive film library, offering audiences a unique cinematic experience. The screenings will take place at over 300 locations across the United States and select international venues.
Upcoming screenings include Ari Aster’s Hereditary on April 24 and the Safdie Brothers’ Uncut Gems on May 22. The partnership between A24 and Imax has previously resulted in exclusive events for films like The Tragedy of Macbeth and limited releases of acclaimed movies such as Everything, Everywhere All At Once and Beau is Afraid.
