Alfonso Cuarón and his son Jonás Cuarón spoke at the Busan International Film Festival about the trajectory of cinema and theatrical releases. The pair stated that "the theatrical experience will continue, but it will co-exist with many different forms," according to Deadline.
The filmmakers made these remarks during their first visit to BIFF, where the festival screened Gravity, the Oscar-winning film that Alfonso Cuarón directed, in IMAX format. The Cuaróns also discussed upcoming projects and shared observations about Korean cinema at the festival.
The comments reflect broader industry conversations about the future of theatrical cinema as streaming platforms and digital distribution expand globally. The father-son duo's remarks suggest they view theatrical and alternative distribution methods not as competing forces but as complementary options that will coexist in the media landscape.
