📽️ THIS SATURDAY!
Join us at the @parktheatrevancouver for a special screening of Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners”, presented in its entirety in 70mm 🎥 and followed by an in-person Q&A featuring the film’s Oscar-nominated VFX editor Michael Ralla and VFX producer James Alexander.
Following the massive success of both CREED and BLACK PANTHER franchises, American director Ryan Coogler is reunited with one of the stars of those films, Michael B. Jordan, in an entirely new vision of fear: SINNERS. One of the most critically acclaimed and talked-about movies of 2025, SINNERS received numerous accolades and awards – including Oscars for Best Actor, Best Original Screenplay, Best Original Score, and Best Cinematography.
Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers (Jordan, in a dual role) return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back. With Hailee Steinfeld, Jack O’Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, and Delroy Lindo.
“An awe-inspiring ode to what music means to communities and cultures.” (Chicago Reader)
Featured panelists:
Michael Ralla (VFX Supervisor - SINNERS)
James Alexander (VFX Producer - SINNERS)
Nick Marshall (VFX Supervisor - ILM)
Michael Ranalletta (Comp Lead - ILM)
Anthony Zwartouw (CG Supervisor - ILM)
