Whether it is Film or Digital, I myself want to shoot and express myself both formats but Film is expensive and solid. It is true that film is worthwhile than digital ,but I would love to put on my hands in my pockets and direct scenes on sets either with 1.85 or 2: 40 formats .Film can resist temperature by putting it into cold whereas Digital may be lost and damaged unless it is well cared .
.From this context , i want to republish some interviews done by producers , technicians and filmmakers about an article on a American film documentary called Side by Side directed by Chris Kenneally.It is an interesting article already published in Theasc interface and for Moroccan readers here is the full article
