Goodbye photochemical, hello digital cinema

What we have been announcing for many years has come true, in a few weeks in which true fathers of computer science (Dennis Ritchie) and marketing stars (Steve Jobs) have died, another death has occurred, no less shocking for being anticipated.

Spanish, the photochemical is dead, or at least a part of it, several of the main manufacturers of film cameras have been withdrawing their models from production. Thus Aaton, Arri and Panavision have stopped producing cameras that work with film, which is ‘de facto’ the confirmation that, after 123 years of history, the photochemical is dead. Long live digital.

It is clear that photochemical film will continue to be produced for some years to come and, perhaps, there may even be second chances for film as a medium (we will tell you about this in future installments), but its use as the primary medium for producing feature films (not to say films or films that are already obsolete terms) has a death date.
