No, not a digitally re-mastered version of the Gene Hackman classic but the presentation from CNfilms by Etienne Traisnell on D-Cinema roll-out in France. Gives overview of cinema situation in France. Mentions Daniel goudineau's report that might or might not decide roll-out in France: stake of Universality, (ransparancy and Solidarity. Projector minimum 2K. Server JPEG2000 and MPEG2 (!!) "Recommendation: do not exclude any system but encourage polyvalance." (I am not familiar with that word, but guessing it means plurality).
Recommends that by 2009 all French films be made available for digital distribution. Outlines various strategic choises for technology. I'm still reeling from the fact that it seems France appears to be endorsing MPEG2 as an alternative to JPEG2000 for feature films. Talks about economic choices: European is leasing (XDC), public funding (UKFC) or European cinema subsidy, vs. US VPF model. "Reinforced selective support for the most vulnerable theatres."
