Join Keanu Reeves in this riveting, informative and extremely entertaining documentary about the digital vs celluloid debate that's a must-see for anyone interested in films and filmmaking. Since the invention of cinema, the standard format for recording moving images has been film, but over the past two decades, a new form of digital filmmaking has emerged, creating a ground breaking evolution in the medium. Reeves explores the development of cinema and the impact of digital filmmaking as he goes on a tour of the past and the future of filmmaking, via in-depth interviews with Hollywood masters, such as James Cameron, David Fincher, David Lynch, Martin Scorsese, Steven Soderbergh, and many more.

This screening will be followed by a Q&A panel debate about the futures of celluloid and digital film-making with Charlotte Crofts (UWE, Digital Cultures Research Centre), Josh Randall (Filmmaker & Cinematographer) and
the Cube's own Graeme Hogg.

"With film labs closing down and new formats springing up all the time, this is a timely stock-take of 21st Century cinema." Total Film
