There are some great titles there . It makes me wonder with all the current worldwide public interest there is in seeing movies again via actual 35mm and 70mm film if certain cinema exhibitors are now regretting and are seeing the great error of totally converting to digital format in the first place . We told them it was a huge mistake to convert and make redundant and lose all those highly skilled flesh and blood film projectionists just to save on costs . The conversion to the digital formats such as DCP has clearly not paid off in the long term as a lot of cinemas are still struggling to remain open .

I believe the main causes for the decline in cinema going is having to close twice because of Covid lock downs, ticket costs, people eating meals while watching films, but most of all the masses of streaming content available via the internet and tv channels. Also the lack of interest in many of the films on offer. I do not think the multiplexes will survive because of the financial costs of keeping them open. Ten or more screens with less than a dozen patrons in each is not viable.

What an amazing development in cinema history: there was a time when people found it amazing to change from celluloid to digital screening and now it’s more beautiful and magic to have celluloid back in our life.
Amazing and I hope for more 70mm and celluloid prints.
I will never forget the impression I had when I watched the 70mm „2001-A Space Odyssey“ in the Royal Palast in Berlin in the 80‘s. At this time it had the biggest screen in Europe.
It was more than just a visit at the movies: it was an event and it literally took You into the depth of space…
And this happened without any help of digital tricks.
Watching some of the „camera shaking“ scope features of today, I have the feeling that a lot of directors of photography have forgotten to think of the big screen.
