Kathleen Kennedy introduces a screening of the original 1977 print of Star Wars | BFI

Описание: LucasFilm President Kathleen Kennedy visits BFI Southbank to introduce a screening of George Lucas’ galaxy-shaking space fantasy, from a glorious original 1977 dye transfer IB Technicolor British release print.

A long time ago, before it conquered the galaxy, captivated countless imaginations and forever shifted popular culture, George Lucas’ phenomenon began life as the magical tale of a young Jedi named Luke Skywalker, who joins with a pair of droids, a pilot, a Wookiee and an elder Jedi to rescue Princess Leia and help defeat Darth Vader and the dark side of the Force. In these very special screenings, we present the film exactly as experienced by audiences on its original 1977 release.

Screening from one of the precious handful of dye transfer IB Technicolor prints produced uniquely for the first British release, and preserved in the BFI National Archive, this has some of the wear that comes with an archive print, but its colour is gloriously unfaded. Truly unmissable.

This screening is part of the BFI's 2025 Film on Film festival: https://whatson.bfi.org.uk/Online/def...
