“We are not alone.”
The Music Box 70mm Festival just got a little more otherworldly…See the Director’s Cut of Steven Spielberg’s 1977 CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND in a brand-new 70mm print. Digitally restored in 4k for the 40th anniversary in 2017 by Sony Pictures and now available for the first time in glorious 70mm film, struck from a new negative.
