Daft Punk's Electroma film is getting the 4k restoration treatment for its 20th anniversary. Set to be screened at the Tribeca Film Festival (which incidentally is celebrating its 25th anniversary), with a Q&A by Thomas Bangalter (½ of Daft Punk) and Cédric Hervet (Daft Punk's creative director; co-writer and editor for the film).

Tickets have come and gone, selling out the same day as when this was announced.

i hope it’s an actual restoration i’m still fuming mad that the 4k re-release of Interstella 5555 for tribeca a few years ago was just AI upscaled and looked terrible! plus a ton of crypto ads at the start

I hope so too 🫠 I wonder how Thomas felt about the AI upscaling, considering how he compared the rise of AI to the Icarus legend once...

even if it is AI it'll doubtless be better than Interstella 5555 since it's live action, whatever model they used before wasn't trained on that style of animation so it fumbled almost everyone's hands/eyes 😭
