The Death of Celluloid
Sundance is renowned for world premieres but there was a different sort of premiere taking place with the new documentary “Rize”:
PARK CITY, Utah—It was a film without film, a movie without moving parts. The premiere of Rize that took place last Saturday at a ski lodge here was a historic event—the first feature film to be delivered via wireless technology.
Wired’s article is one of many heralding the event that took place at Sundance. David LaChappelle’s documentary was shot on HD so it was already a digital production to begin with. Now it is only a matter of time before all films will come from a digital source. Say goodbye to lugging those cans around the world for distribution.

I spent a little over 7 years as a theatre manager and projectionist, so I have to say that there is an attachment to the old-school way of doing things.
I’m not so sure I like our dependence on technology. Now that I’m a PC tech, I know for a fact that people are absolutely psychotic about their computers. What happens when all this tech that we “depend” on bites it hard one day....
I’m just sayin’...it could happen.
