Writer-directors Alfonso Cuarón (Roma, Children of Men, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban) and Gaspar Noé (Enter the Void, Love, Irreversible) talk about Cuarón’s 3D sci-fi masterpiece, which celebrates its tenth anniversary this year.
In Gravity Sandra Bullock plays scientist Dr Ryan Stone, who finds herself trapped above the Earth when the debris from a destroyed satellite, travelling at the speed of a bullet, tears apart her spacecraft. Using all her wits, Stone tries to figure out a way to get home before the orbiting debris returns. Employing state-of-the-art visual effects and digital 3D technology, Alfonso Cuáron creates a white-knuckle-ride of a film that is also breathtakingly beautiful and questions our place within the vast expanse of the universe.
Originally premiering in the UK at the 2013 LondonFilm Festival, where it received a rapturous reception, we were delighted to welcome Alfonso Cuáron’s sci-fi masterpiece to the UK’s largest screen for our Sci-fIMAX season. For more on the BFI IMAX: https://www.bfi.org.uk/bfi-imax
