    Following last year’s very successful “Big & Loud! 70mm, Atmos, and Audio-Obsessive Cinema” screening series, Netflix is launching its latest edition of what is becoming a signature late summer and early fall event at its Paris Theater in New York City. This year’s series will again boast, per the streamer, “eye-popping 70mm prints, thunderous Dolby Atmos , and cinema worth celebrating.”

    The series kicks off on Friday, August 23 and will run through Thursday, October 31. Special presentations will include a new 70mm print of Alfred Hitchcock’s “Vertigo” (screening for the first time in New York), plus new 70mm prints of “North by Northwest” and “The Searchers,” as well as 70mm screenings of “2001: A Space Odyssey,” “Boogie Nights,” “Hamlet” (1996), “The Hateful Eight,” “Inception,” “Lawrence of Arabia,” “Malcolm X,” “Nope,” “Phantom Thread,” “Spartacus,” and “The Untouchables.”

    Other highlights (and there are many) include “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” “Days of Heaven,” “Dazed and Confused,” “East of Eden” (in Dolby Atmos), “Gravity” (in Dolby Atmos), “The Green Fog” (in a double bill with “Vertigo”), “Koyaanisqatsi,” “The Last Waltz,” “Jaws” (in Dolby Atmos), “Okja” (in Dolby Atmos), “Training Day” (in Dolby Atmos), and “Uncut Gems” (in Dolby Atmos).

    Special guests will also include James Ivory for “The Remains of the Day” in 70mm; John Cameron Mitchell for “Hedwig and the Angry Inch”; Don Hertzfeldt in-person for “Light & Noise: A Don Hertzfeldt Residency” screenings of “Me, It’s Such a Beautiful Day,” “The World of Tomorrow,” and sci-fi classic “Forbidden Planet”; Jem Cohen and Fugazi’s Guy Picciotto for the 25th anniversary of the documentary “Instrument”; and more to be announced.

    Last year, “Big & Loud! 70mm, Atmos, and Audio-Obsessive Cinema” drew over 13,000 attendees to nearly 50 screenings, including sold-out showings of “Playtime,” “Lawrence of Arabia,” “2001: A Space Odyssey,” and more. (My personal favorite: “Lawrence of Arabia” from the balcony. What a picture!)

    The historic Paris Theater reopened last year following upgrades to present 70mm projection, becoming the largest Dolby Atmos cinema in Manhattan.
