The end of the silver screen? Cinema technology has remained much the same for a century, so when will it go digital? Kelvin Hilton views the projections. A Cinema is full of contradictions. It is high- tech and old- fashioned at the same time. Todays films are full of digital sound and computer- generated special effects. Yet they are still stored on celluloid film, the basis of which is more than 100 years old. They are also displayed with projectors and screens that seem to belong to our great- grandparents generation. B Now that we are in the second century of cinema, there are moves to bring the medium right up to date. This will involve revolutionizing not just how films are made but also how they are distributed and presented. The aim is not only to produce and prepare films digitally, but to be able to send them to movie theatres by digital, electronic means. High- resolution digital projectors would then show the film. Supporters say this will make considerable savings at all stages of this chain, particularly for distribution. C With such a major technological revolution on the horizon, it seems strange that the industry is still not sure what to call itself. This may appear a minor point, but the choices, digital cinema and electronic cinema (e- cinema), suggest different approaches to, and aspects of, the business. Digital cinema refers to the physical capture of images; e-cinema covers the whole chain, from production through postproduction (editing, addition of special effects and construction of soundtrack) to distribution and projection. D And what about the effects of the new medium? The main selling point of digital cinema is the high resolution and sharpness of the final image. But those who support the old- fashioned approach to film point to the celluloid mediums quality of warmth. A recurring criticism of video is that it may be too good: uncomfortably real, rather like looking through an open window. In 1989, the director of the first full- length American digital high-definition movie admitted that the picture had a stark, strange reality to it. E Even the moneysaving aspect of e-cinema is doubted. One expert says that exciting cinema will have to show the new material and not all of them will readily or rapidly furnish themselves with the right

equipment. E-cinema is seen as a way of saving money, because print costs a lot, he says. But for that to work, cinemas have to be showing the films because cinemas are the engine that drives the film industry. F This view has prompted some pro-digital entrepreneurs to take a slightly different approach. HD Thames is looking at reinventing the existing cinema market, moving towards e-theatre, which would use digital video and projection to present plays, musicals and some sporting events to the public. This is not that different from the large-screen TV system that was set up in New York in 1930 and John Logie Bairds experiments with TV in the late 1920s and early 30s. Questions 7-11 Complete the summary below using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS from the passage There are big changes ahead for cinema if digital production takes place and the industry no longer uses (7). and gets rid of the old-fashioned (8). and used to show movies.

In addition, digital production will only reduce costs if cinemas are willing to buy new (10) ..As a result, experiments with what is called (11) .. may mark a change in the whole entertainment industry.

still the Finns most important summer cerebration. They gather together around the bonfire to make dance, play and be with family and friends themselves. In some areas Midsummer poles decorated with flowers garlands and leaves are erected for the festivities. Although some of the old ceremonies are now performed only for fun, Midsummer night, as bathed in the strange white light of the North, is still mysterious.
