The Art of James Cameron at la Cinémathèque française

Event Description

Starting with Terminator in 1984, filmmaker James Cameron has dominated the box office with hit films such as Aliens (1986), Titanic (1997) and Avatar (2009). Filled with cutting-edge visual effects, these blockbusters have left their mark on popular culture, notes the Cinémathèque française in staging an exhibit dedicated to his creative process. Cameron’s ideas were born in the pages of his childhood drawing books, and ” his immense imagination has often clashed with the constraints of existing technology, so much so that the director has had to pilot a number of innovations to be able to bring his visions to life.”
