Stewart Filmscreen Corp., a manufacturer of projection screens and specialty optical coatings for residential and commercial applications, has been chosen as an official provider for the Sundance Film Festival, taking place from 22 January to 2 February 2015 in Park City, Utah. Utilised in many of the top movie studios, theatres, venues, and post-houses around the world and with two Academy Awards for technical screen innovation under its belt, Stewart Filmscreen has a rich history with the film community at large.

The Sundance Mountain Resort Screening Room now features a gigantic acoustically transparent 136.5 x 308.5 Stewart SnoMatte 100 Microperf projection screen with a specially engineered lacing system that allowed Sundance technicians to retrofit the Stewart screen material to an existing frame while providing impeccable image quality and screen surface for some of the festival s most anticipated films. Notable films which will make their premiere on this Stewart Filmscreen at the Sundance Resort include I Am Michael, Mistress America and Ten Thousand Saints.

From the early days of Stewart during the golden age of cinema, Stewart Filmscreen has been there, producing screens that not only produce picture quality worthy of the silver screen, but that help filmmakers execute innovative visual effects behind the scenes and an immersive experience for the viewing audience, says Grant Stewart, president and CEO of Stewart Filmscreen.

Stewart Filmscreen is also a patron and a Marquee Sponsor of the Egyptian Theatre, and a provider to the Eccles Theatre, Prospector Theatre, New Frontier and a specialty outdoor rear-projection venue in the area, all of which are utilised for the Sundance Film Festival.
