quote: Close Encounters of the Third Kind - See Steven Spielberg's director's cut on an exclusive, new 35mm print, Fri 27 May - Thu 09 Jun
Saw this on 35mm about a month ago at MOMI. Was great.
quote: I think the best that can be hoped for is that enough filmmakers will be aware of the aesthetics of film that it will continue to be used here and there in the process of making movies. I believe you lose something when you're not projecting on film as well. However, there are so many advantages to digital that commercial film projection is going to fade away almost completely in my opinion.
No, what's happening, IMO, is that real cinema on film is becoming the new "gourmet" and "connoisseur" way to see a film, at higher admission, just like vinyl lp's are now the same, being pressed on 180gram virgin vinyl, and selling at a much higher price point than LP albums did 30-35 years ago.
