Netflix Sets Second Big & Loud Film Series At NYC’s Paris Theater

Netflix‘ Paris Theater, NYC’s longest-running arthouse and Manhattan’s sole single-screen cinema, is marking one year since reopening with the return of screening series Big & Loud.

Special presentations include a new 70mm print of Alfred Hitchock’s Vertigo screening for the first time in New York, new 70mm prints of North By Northwest and The Searchers, as well as 70mm screenings of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Boogie Nights, Hamlet (1996), Inception, Lawrence of Arabia, Malcolm X, Nope, Phantom Thread, Spartacus and The Untouchables.

Netflix reopened the historic theater last year following upgrades to present 70mm projection and make it the largest Atmos cinema in Manhattan. It called Big & Loud “a screening series of eye-popping 70mm prints, thunderous Dolby Atmos and cinema worth celebrating.”

Highlights include Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Days of Heaven, Dazed And Confused, East of Eden (in Atmos), Gravity (in Atmos), The Green Fog (double bill with Vertigo), Koyaanisqatsi, The Last Waltz, Jaws (in Atmos), Okja (in Atmos), The Hateful Eight, Training Day (in Atmos), and Uncut Gems(in Atmos).

Dolby Atmos allows moviegoers to experience multi-dimensional sound precisely placed anywhere in the cinema, even overhead, creating an immersive, lifelike soundscape, and 70mm captures a bigger, brighter picture.

Making appearances at the event: James Ivory for The Remains of the Day in 70mm, John Cameron Mitchell for Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Don Hertzfeldt in-person for “Light & Noise: A Don Hertzfeldt Residency” screenings of Me, It’s Such a Beautiful Day, The World of Tomorrow and sci-fi classic Forbidden Planet, Jem Cohen and Fugazi’s Guy Picciotto for the 25th anniversary of the documentary Instrument, and more to be announced.

Big & Loud drew over 13,000 attendees to nearly 50 screenings last year.
