The conquering of traditional film by video technology is a story whose outcome was perhaps decided years ago. But there remain the hangers-on who fight in the name of those grainy, flickering, celluloid strips. “Side by Side” is a documentary produced by Keanu Reeves (seriously) which examines the transition from film to video in the world of movies.
Hopefully it will serve to educate budding filmmakers on the important differences between the two mediums. And discourage the use “old film” filters always, forever, the end. [Side by Side via The Documentary Blog]
