Introducing the IMAX Keighley Film Camera 🎥

Developed in close collaboration with Christopher Nolan and Cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema, this new camera is named The Keighley in honour of IMAX's late Chief Quality Officer David Keighley and his wife, Patricia, both pioneers of the 70mm format.

The Odyssey, now playing at BFI IMAX, was shot with a combination of original and these new IMAX cameras.
