“In 2023 we will be marking Pearl & Dean’s 70th anniversary, and we are honoured to have the unique opportunity to kick off the year with a feature in this new film from Sam Mendes,” Pearl & Dean CEO, Kathryn Jacob OBE said.
“Empire of Light is a wonderful film that truly celebrates cinema and its role in our lives and the local community. In homage to the film itself, we couldn’t think of a better way than to celebrate its release and the start of our 70th year with many of our independent cinema partners so that we can all share in the magic of the silver screen.”
