China Film Giant Screen (CFGS) is a Chinese premium large film format company. The company was previously known as DMAX, with the name also referring to the film technology. It has been described as a competitor to IMAX Corporation and its IMAX film format.[1] The company is owned by China Film Group Corporation.

History

The CFGS format was apparently developed by the China Research Institute of Film Science & Technology and the China Film Group Corporation. It was created in an attempt to challenge the IMAX film format that dominated the premium large format movie market until that point.[2] The aim was to lower costs and to allow the development of Chinese film projection technology using indigenous Chinese technology and intellectual property.[1]

The format was put into commercial use in 2012.

Lawsuit

IMAX sued CFGS and related companies for theft of intellectual property; this court action was heard on 18 June 2014.[3] IMAX alleged that Gary Tsui (Chinese name: Cui Xiaoyu, 崔晓宇), a former employee that worked for IMAX from 1999-2009, stole confidential information on proprietary technology and set up competing businesses.[4][5][6] Despite a court injunction it was noted that Gary Tsui had ignored the court orders, and his businesses had evolved into a venture known as DMAX, later to change its name to CFGS. In 2014 IMAX won a court victory in Canada upholding that Tsui had stolen the technology to build up his competing company.[7] IMAX hoped that the Canadian court victory would allow successful legal action in China.[7] As of 2015, the status of the legal action in China is uncertain.

Technical properties

Standard screen size for DMAX is 20x12 meters (for comparison IMAX is at least 22x16 meters).
