Overview
- The American Cinematheque announced Wednesday that Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey will play a special three-week engagement in 70mm at the Village Theatre beginning July 17.
- The Village’s projection booth will be fitted with restored dual 70mm projectors to present the film in a high‑quality, traditional-film format.
- The engagement is a fundraising and visibility event tied to a planned 12-month renovation that will close the theater this fall and aim to reopen in 2027.
- Nolan and producer Emma Thomas are partners in the filmmaker-led Village Directors Circle, which helped buy the 95-year-old movie palace and is working with the American Cinematheque to program the venue.
- The Odyssey was shot using new IMAX film technology and features a star-studded cast, and the Village is positioning future programming to include festivals, retrospectives, premieres and curated events after reopening.
