I can't stand DVD projection.<br /><br />Why do you believe <I>Palermo Shooting</I> is screening digitally? Do you mean digiBeta (which I don't have a problem with, if I'm warned in advance).

Can't say I'm aware of having been to a Cinema projecting DVDs. But any glich with screening like at some multiplexes can be very annoying. And as you say the costs punting on these film festivals can be high.

But you have to check out the details of the film and get past all the distributor details. I'm sure there'll be a lot of disappointed punters who didn't know it was going to be on DVD.

I've always appreciated that ACMI make the effort to distinguish between film and digital screenings in their program booklets -- other cinemas aren't always so upfront with that information.Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05523747990880689432noreply@blogger.com
