Desc: Death of Film: Directed by R.W. Powers, Sean Powers. Death of Film sings a eulogy for motion picture film and a coming-of-age anthem for digital cinema. Using the critical period in the development of motion picture film, 1889-1894, as a template to understanding our current changing landscape of motion imaging technology, Death of Film renders the collaboration between George Eastman, Thomas Edison, and W.K.L. Dickson as they worked toward projected apparent motion via flexible motion picture film.
