DigiTraining Plus 2008:
European Cinemas Experiencing New Technologies

London (Great Britain, 9-13 April 2008)

Sono stati 45, provenienti da 14 paesi, i partecipanti del Corso “DigiTraining Plus – European Cinemas Experiencing New Technologies”, organizzato da MEDIA Salles fra il 9 e il 13 aprile. La novità del 2008 è stata la sede: dopo quattro edizioni in Belgio, questa è stata la volta del Regno Unito, il paese europeo che conta il più alto numero di schermi digitali: quasi 300.
Approfondire obiettivi e modalità dell’intervento pubblico che ha favorito questo sviluppo e conoscere significative iniziative private, sono state alcune tra le finalità del corso.
Il programma ha incluso la visita a cinema che, come il Curzon Soho e il Kino Digital di Hawkhurst (quest’ultimo dotato esclusivamente di proiettore digitale), contano sulle nuove tecnologie per ampliare la loro offerta al pubblico, puntando in particolare su film europei e sulle cinematografie emergenti.

45 participants from 14 different countries took part in the “DigiTraining Plus – European Cinemas Experiencing New Technologies” course, organized by MEDIA Salles between 9 and 13 April. The new element in 2008 was the venue: after four editions in Belgium, this time it was the turn of the United Kingdom, the European country with the highest number of digital screens: almost 300.
Gaining a better knowledge of the objectives and ways of public funding that have fostered this development and becoming acquainted with significant private initiatives were some of the course objectives. The programme included visits to cinemas which, like the Curzon Soho and the Kino Digital in Hawkhurst (the latter fitted exclusively with digital projectors), are counting on the new technologies to broaden their offer to the public, backing European films and emerging film-making in particular.
