Hello Victor
When I started working in the Film Dept at Columbia College in 1981
everyone was saying that film was dead.It's still here.The thing that always bothered me with the new formats being either video tape or digital.Is no image ever exists in time.When a student comes to me with an image problem with a film camera I take the film lay it out on my light box grab an eye lupe and check it out.
A caveman can hold up a piece of 35mm or 70mm film hold it up to the sky and see a moment in time.
Student once asked me what the difference was between film and video, thought about it for a minute and said'with film you need vision with video you just need a television'.

Later
