Acclaimed Hollywood director Christopher Nolan arrived in India for a three-day trip on Friday. The filmmaker famous for gems such as Dunkirk, Interstellar, Inception, The Dark Knight series and many more arrived with his wife and children in Mumbai today morning. Nolan is here to take part in a talk about the future of cinema, particularly film - a cause that he has become the most dedicated spokesperson for.
Filmmaker-archivist Shivendra Singh Dungarpur will be hosting the renowned filmmaker and he hopes the director’s trip to India will draw attention to the cause of film preservation and restoration. Nolan has often spoken about restoring old film reels and, in fact, is slated to present the 70mm print of Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece “2001: A Space Odyssey” at the Cannes Film Festival to mark the movie’s 50th anniversary.
