What is Digital Cinema?: Navigating a Landscape of Fundamental Change

For the first time in its 100-plus year history, the film industry is facing a baseline shift in the way it creates and distributes its product. As electronic solutions to delivery and exhibition come into focus, the possibility for powerful end-to-end digital solutions to moviemaking becomes inevitable. Now more than ever, the opportunity exists for a new twenty-first-century model in distribution and exhibition to emerge. Featuring leading experts, filmmakers, and companies at the forefront of this transition, this Panel examines the impact of digital cinema on those who create, deliver, exhibit, and view motional pictures. Competing digital formats, compression standards, delivery platforms, and exhibition technologies - how do they fit together and what do they mean to filmmakers and audiences alike? This panel will be moderated by School Macaulay, producer and copresident, Forensic Films, and editor, Filmmaker magazine.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
