Digital Cinema Perspectives

This book is a compilation of 18 interviews from well-known professionals working in image creation, production, postproduction, distribution, and exhibition. The interviews are based on hour-long conversations that were transcribed, in some cases translated, and edited. As the scope of the IP-Racine project is the entire "scene to screen" chain, the topics vary, giving technical, economic, political, conceptual, and cultural perspectives on a wide range of themes related to cinema. Digital Cinema Perspectives is the result of a collaborative process that ran from April 2005 to the end of August 2006 in a series of European and American cities.

The chapters follow an order that conceptually represents the cinema chain from image capture to projection. The interviewees are Joe di Gennaro, Tomàs Pladevall, David Stump, Jesús Haro Tapias, Hugo Ramos Garza, Peter Takeuchi,Craig Mumma, Joe Lewis, Pepe Salcedo, Joshua Pines, Rick Dean, Jan van Dommelen, Laurent Minguet, Elisabetta Brunella, Michael Karagosian, Primitivo Rodríguez Gordillo, Patrick von Sychowski, Montserrat Guiu, and Walt Ordway.
