The Dryden will screen Cinema Futures (Michael Palm, Austria/India/Norway/U.S. 2016, 126 min., DCP), introduced by Alexander Horwath and followed by a panel discussion.

The "digital revolution" reached the cinema late and was chiefly styled as a technological advancement. Today, in an era in which analog celluloid strips are disappearing, and given the diversity of digital moving picture formats, there is much more at stake: Are the world's film archives on the brink of a dark age? Are we facing the massive loss of collective audiovisual memory? Is film dying, or just changing? Cinema Futures travels to international locations and, together with renowned filmmakers, museum curators, historians, and engineers, dramatizes the future of film and cinema in the age of digital moving pictures. With Martin Scorsese, Christopher Nolan, Tacita Dean, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, David Bordwell, Tom Gunning, Jacques Rancière, Margaret Bodde, Paolo Cherchi Usai, Nicole Brenez, Michael Friend, Greg Lukow, Mike Mashon, and many others. Partially shot on location at the George Eastman Museum!
