>> No, not films. Film. The ever-increasing use of digital (take Gareth Edwards brilliant Monsters from last year, entirely shot using a digital camera) means the likes of Panavision aren’t even making film cameras at present. Meanwhile, Tacita Dean’s installation at Tate Britain’s Turbine Hall (aptly called, er, Film) is basically a homage to celluloid. So it seemed like the right time to speak to Panavision, as well as film-makers themselves, to see whether film was indeed dying – and if it is, what difference that might make to the movies we watch.
IS FILM DEAD? OR JUST DYING?
