About the event
Spotlight Series: Director Christopher Nolan
Christopher Nolan CBE is a British-American filmmaker known for his lucrative Hollywood blockbusters
with complex storytelling. Nolan is considered a leading filmmaker of the 21st century, as well as a director who pushes the boundaries of what can be done in live action, from the semi-truck flip in The Dark
Knight to the Tesseract scene in Interstellar. Choosing to do as much as he can in camera instead of just
relying on CGI sets him apart from his film-making competition; his films will go down in history as
groundbreaking, beautiful and ambitious.
Gold Junction Presents has selected four films which highlight Nolan's career, illustrate his talent, and display his ambitious drive to shoot everything on camera, veering away from CGI. These films are remarkable and undeniably beautiful to see on a big screen.
Join us March 30, 2023 at 6:30 PM to view Dunkirk. Learn more about this film below in a behind-the-scenes look.
Dunkirk (2017)
Synopsis: In May 1940, Germany advanced into France, trapping Allied troops on the beaches of Dunkirk. Under air and ground cover from British and French forces, troops were slowly and methodically evacuated from the beach using every serviceable naval and civilian vessel that could be found. At the end of this heroic mission, 330,000 French, British, Belgian and Dutch soldiers were safely evacuated.
The story of Dunkirk is one of the most harrowing stories of our time. This film is a great example of Christopher Nolan’s journey as a director. All the experiences of his previous films culminate in the way he not only shot Dunkirk, but how he told the story. The ambition to capture all he can on camera is readily apparent in this film. From the enormous number of extras to the up close and personal shots, he can not only give you the scope of the events unfolding but gives you glimpses into the heroics of an individual on the ground and in the air.
