Topic: Side by Side (2012)- Doc on Digital vs Celluloid
I know it's been familiar territory and discussion for DiF since its' inception, but I thought this documentary was a well-produced, even-handed look at the rising dominance of digital in all aspects of filmmaking, with distribution and exhibition seeming to be the last frontier. Although the final topic of preservation does seem to favor the old-school silver nitrate crowd.
Highly recommended for all the DiF fans out there, if for the sole scene of Jimmy "Freakin'" Cameron laying the Smackdown on the Devil's Advocate himself, Keanu. "What exactly, about ANY movie is real?"
Again, familiar ground that Dorkman, Brian, Teague, and Trey have been mining for awhile, but I'd like to hear the DiF crew discuss it during the next "Grab bag."
