I would really like you to be right and for there still be a reason for distributors to release new films as prints just to cater to poor, hot countries like India and that it would somehow be more affordable for theaters in those countries to deal with the current distribution system rather than

I'm quite skeptical about all these reports about the death of film we are suddenly seeing. They seem to  frequently turn out to have little substance to them on further examination. Aside from which, that last article seems to be more about the death of cinema and the rise of video

DCI requires that exhibitors moving to the DCI platform *must* remove 35mm projection capabilities from their booth, that is in order to be in compliance. It's commercial interests working to advance in short time to the new platform. Makes me think of what happened in the US with public rail

The comparison to the well-documented rail atrocities committed by GM and Firestone is apt. However, that does not stop reality from existing. The removal of analog projectors from theaters, via strong-arm tactics or not, is something that is happening and cannot be stopped by us. It is wise

Programmers I know say that it is harder and harder to rent 35mm prints. Studios try to offer blu-ray, or, better, 4 K files on hard drives. Sometimes they don't make prints anymore. And archives, as a result, are now overwhelmed with requests for prints, and are cutting back and limiting

By the end of 2012, the share of 35mm will decline to 37 percent of global cinema screens, with digital accounting for the remaining 63 percent. This represents a dramatic decline for 35mm, which was used in 68 percent of global cinema screens in 2010. In 2015, 35mm will be used in just 17 percent

It is not just about replicating the look of film, whatever that means on a physical surface level. It is more about what happens when you view real film--the nature of projected film demands a kind of physiological and cognitive processing that is simply absent with digital projection. In
