From the Wire: Bye Bye Celluloid, Hello Digital
No one should be surprised by this. It has been on the horizon for years. There’s no use fighting it either. Is conversion to digital projection costly for exhibitors everywhere? Yes. But, so what? We’ve already been through this- eighty years ago during the conversion from silent to sound.
Is there something to mourn when 35mm finally dies, relegated to the preferred medium of visual artists, but tossed aside by the mainstream? Yes. But let’s not forget how sound transformed cinema. Digital can do the same. It already has in so many ways.

“Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) with be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery–celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: ‘It’s not where you take things from–it’s where you take them to.’”
