The 10 Year Anniversary Event was a 24-hour live stream event held on Twitter on December 18, 2019, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the release of the film Avatar in cinemas.[1]

As a sign of appreciation of Avatar fans worldwide, producer Jon Landau announced a live stream with interviews and unreleased behind-the-scenes footage on December 11, 2019, on Twitter. [2] The event would start at midnight EST one week later. Followers were asked to send in questions that they would like the film's cast and crew to answer.

On December 18, 2019, at 12:00am EST, the 24 hour live stream started. It was accompanied by many posts on the official Twitter page which contained teasers and clips from the stream.

Stream Content[]

The stream started with James Cameron giving a short introduction. The rest of the stream consisted of pre-recorded clips of Q&As and reflections with cast and crew, concept art, featurettes, behind-the-scenes shots, a pre-production photoshoot and the original Avatar film trailer. Most of the clips were streamed repeatedly during the 24 hours.
