BERLINALE GOES DIGITAL
The Berlin Film Festival -- the Berlinale -- announced today (Friday) that it is taking "the next big step" into the digital age by equipping 29 of the 49 screens it will be using this year with digital cinema projection equipment. The festival said that it will also set up an encoding studio where film files will be encoded, transferred to hard drives and delivered to the theaters showing them. The encoding, the festival said, will protect the films from piracy. "These new screening systems are crucial for the Berlinale, for the future lies in digital cinema," festival director Dieter Kosslick said in a statement. The ten-day festival opens on February 5.
