Are you ready for the new scenario?
DigiTraining
Plus: New Technologies for European Cinemas
5-9 April 2006, Kuurne (Belgium)
5th
April is coming closer and closer: this issue of “DGT online informer”,
launched over a month ago now with the task of accompanying us, through
its contents, towards the “DigiTraining Plus” 2006 course,
is purposely devoted entirely to the appointment in Kuurne. The form that
the course has gradually assumed during these months of preparation, and
which this issue gives a significant preview of, foresees five days of
intense training.
Digital cinema: what shall we be discussing? What changes and who
for? What technology? What do I need to set up my digital cinema? Who
pays? How to obtain more digital films? These are some of the numerous
questions which we have decided to use as the basis for designing the
training sessions in Belgium, since we believe it is essential for the
key players in cinema exhibition who are experiencing the switch to digital,
or will have to deal with it in the future, to be able to search for and
share practical solutions.
Inspired by these questions, “DigiTraining Plus 2006” is intended
to shed light on the field of the digital according to a teaching approach
based on the distinctive features of the combination between theoretical
principles and practical application and the involvement of those who
represent economic players outside the cinematographic chain, but who
are nonetheless essential for making it possible to advance successfully
towards a new phase of technology.
We hope you enjoy your reading and hope to see many of you in Kuurne,
Domenico Dinoia,
President of MEDIA Salles
