I definitely think there is a future for film as a fine arts medium. But I do not think colleges should be teaching 16mm filmmaking to every undergraduate in cinema. I write as a person who taught film and video for 25 years. Students in cinema history classes should be taught to appreciate film and studio arts students should experience handling film but kids who want to become media professionals do not need to make things on celluloid. The aesthetics and techniques of film and photography can be taught using digital equipment.
