28 April 2008"DigiTraining Plus - European Cinemas Experiencing New Technologies"
Detlef Rossmann & Michael Thomas :
45 participants from 14 different countries took part in the "DigiTraining Plus - European Cinemas Experiencing New Technologies" course, organized by MEDIA Salles between 9 and 13 April.
The new element in 2008 was the venue: after four editions in Belgium, this time it was the turn of the United Kingdom, the European country with the highest number of digital screens: almost 300.
Gaining a better knowledge of the objectives and ways of public funding that have fostered this development and becoming acquainted with significant private initiatives were some of the course objectives. The programme included visits to cinemas which, like the Curzon Soho and the Kino Digital in Hawkhurst (the latter fitted exclusively with digital projectors), are counting on the new technologies to broaden their offer to the public, backing European films and emerging film-making in particular. The issue of digital technology and art-house films was dealt with by Detlef Rossmann, President of CICAE and of AG Kino.
