Film compared to digital:

Digital is literal and electronic. It looks and feels like real life. It has a video camera vibe.

Film creates an artistic dreamscape that seems different to everyday reality. Film is like reality captured in a painting.

To escape the real world was the traditional appeal of cinema to audiences.

The future of real film:

The Australian film industry has realised that film capture is a powerful medium, tailor-made for some productions.
