Films were shot, edited and projected using photochemical film. But over the last two decades a digital process has emerged to challenge photochemical filmmaking. <Side By Side>, produced by Keanu Reeves, takes an in-depth look at this revolution. Through interviews with directors, cinematographers, film students, producers, technologies, editors, and exhibitors, <Side by Side> examines all aspects of filmmaking ?from capture to edit, visual effects to color correction, distribution to archive. At this moment when digital and photochemical filmmaking coexist, <Side by Side> explores what has been gained, what is lost, and what the future might bring. It also asks an important question to all filmmakers about the direction of future filmmaking. <Side by Side> is a valuable film especially to young filmmakers.
