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.
