David Bordwell’s new book, Pandora’s Digital Box: Films, Files, and the Future of Movies is now available for purchase as a PDF on his website for $3.99.
Check out David’s blog post, about the book.
Pandora’s Digital Box answers these questions:
- How did digital projection get on the agenda?
- What roles did George Lucas, James Cameron, and others play in promoting and advancing the technology?
- How did the Hollywood studios/distributors take charge of the process and turn it to their advantage?
- What was the role of 3D in fulfilling the digital agenda?
- How does the shift to digital projection fit into theatres’ strategies to solidify and expand the audience?
- How does digital conversion affect small-town theatres? Art and repertory theatres? Film archives and the future of film preservation?
- With filmmaking and now film projection becoming extensions of Information Technology, what sorts of changes might we expect to come? Will digital exhibition expand viewers’ choice or reinforce the Hollywood industry’s hold on commercial film culture?
