Sonnenfeld will delve into his personal experiences and his belief that movie playback quality is essential to experiencing films as their creators intended. He will share his insights on the significance of sound and visual excellence in home cinemas. Attendees can look forward to hearing about Sonnenfeld’s own home theater setup and his vision for achieving an extraordinary home cinema experience.

“Director Barry Sonnenfeld brings a unique perspective to CEDIA Expo that combines his deep passion for filmmaking with his love for home theater,” explained CEDIA Global President and CEO, Daryl Friedman. “Sonnenfeld’s insights will provide a fascinating look at how technology enhances the film experience and will inspire attendees to think about new ways to integrate entertainment and technology.”

Sonnenfeld began his career as a director of photography on iconic films such as Blood Simple, When Harry Met Sally, and Miller’s Crossing. His mid-90s success with The Addams Family and Men in Black established him as a director who skillfully blends comedy and style in studio blockbusters. His work on the TV series Pushing Daisies earned him an Emmy for Outstanding Directing in a Comedy Series and the DGA Award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Dramatic Series, with the show garnering 17 Emmy nominations during its two-year run.

In addition to his filmmaking achievements, Sonnenfeld was a contributing editor for Esquire Magazine, where he wrote the monthly column “The Digital Man.” His memoir, Barry Sonnenfeld, Call Your Mother: Memoirs of a Neurotic Filmmaker, was published by Hachette in 2020. His next book, The Best Possible Place, Worst Possible Time, is set to be released in October 2024.
