Looking Forward: Turning to the Near Term
Date: Sunday, April 6
3:15 pm – 4:00 pm
Description:
The transformation to the digital projection booth appears to be complete, but many subtle issues remain unresolved and solutions are stubbornly out of reach. Given the enormous expense already laid out, how will operators move to up-to-date features without breaking their budgets or risking days of revenue on a failed upgrade? And where is the ubiquitous automation that is supposed to remove the complexity of getting a motion picture on-screen? While these issues concern all exhibitors, smaller operations are especially impacted because of their limited resources. The panel will discuss these topics and invite the audience to contribute to an on-going conversation about maintaining and advancing the art of digital exhibition in the post-celluloid era.
