farewell to film ? what is at stake in digital projection ?

Today no professional colloquium or congress goes by without dedicating
at least a day to the question of digital projection. Spectacular declarations and
stirring future projections are heard on a daily basis. Even if figures show we are
still in an experimental phase (just a few hundred theatres and a few dozen
films), it seems that an acceleration of the digitalisation process is underway.

The following report makes one assumption: the quality of digital
projection is considered beyond dispute; it will not be the subject of discussion.
Consequently, the interrogations put forward are essentially directed at the
economic viability and implications of digital projection.
