Hi, Chris, The big, commercial multiplexes are all digital. But independent theaters are either hybrid exhibitors or in the process of fundraising for their DCP equipment. An active community of 35mm exhibitors does exist for a number of reasons: the percentage of films available on DCP is very small and 35mm offers a different experience from digital (which is actually marketable and profitable).

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
