Well most of it, he shot Cafe Society for Allen on digtal, Sony F65 CineAlta
"Practically, in Italy we no longer have Technicolor and we no longer have Kodak. We can’t be attached to one way of working."

But he is not convinced: "as close as possible to the level of film, even if it’s not yet there." (My bold)
The mask is one of the reasons color negatives print so much better than slides.
...and the film grain/sharpness isn't the only player in the quality of the final image; let's not forget things like camera shake, lens focus accuracy and camera lens performance.If anything is overrated, it is the grain/sharpness issue. All films today are very good in this regard.
changing the paper emulsion to accept an orange-toned negative image and incorporating an integral orange mask to the film, so the processes are "mated". This technique, somehow, solved the problem of the paper's spectral response. So, the mask is not a solution for quality in itself, but to overcome a hurdle in the development of the products/processes.
The orange mask compensates for the limitations in both the film and the paper.changing the paper emulsion to accept an orange-toned negative image and incorporating an integral orange mask to the film, so the processes are "mated".

I don't need to know about industrial engineering to say that. what do I know about film manufacturing to believe anything they would say? Nothing. Again I don't need to know anything abouth nothing to be free not to believe in their timetable.And what do you know about industrial engineering?

Yes you are completely free to believe whatever you want. Thank you for making clear that you have no credibility in matters of film manufacturing.
Over breakfast this morning, my wife suddenly said to me "Did you ever hear from that film company you sent some money two or three years ago?" I said they were still promising the film later this year. Her reply was "Do you think it was a scam to get money ? ".
If one unconnected person can say that, Ferrania perhaps ought to think very carefully what might be starting to happen to their public image ?
...I agree with Henning that, for the ordinary consumer, slide film has advantages over negative film as a general-purpose film.
You could have added: "money much better spent than in another unnecessary pair of shoes"
Your answer could have been: "Oh, money very well spent. They savaged tons of industrial machinery, some of that was put to use, some of that will come handy later. They have refurbished the factory, put together a small but very capable team, and they are already working on coating! Imagine that, as a by-product of their path toward creating slide film, they have made a very interesting B&W material, very similar to an historical film of the past, the one used by Fellini and other great ones, and that film is in alpha testing now, and they will soon be distributing it as a reward for backers, but I preferred to wait for the slide film.
Overall I am very satisfied with how the things have progressed. It's a dream we have supported, and the dream is becoming reality!".

I disagree. History is the proof. Negatives have always been the medium of choice for the consumer over slides. Few project today, so negatives are even more favorable. The consumer has no other real use for slides, since both can be scanned with good quality. The better quality of prints from negatives, lower cost, and ease of processing and printing is the icing on the cake.
I think E6 is even better for digital scanning.I think it's mostly about the way negatives worked with the analog print processors that were dominant up into the 90's. Once all the consumer labs went to digital, there was no practical disadvantage to using positive film for making prints. The workflow is identical. The colors are corrected the same way. I don't remember what film prices were like in the 90's so I might be off base here, but it was probably primarily the difference in price for E-6 film and processing that prevented it from becoming dominant once digital printing became the norm. By the time the analog minilabs were all phased out, digital photography was already starting to threaten the film market, and another revolution in the industry just wasn't in the cards. Had there been another generation of development at the industry's peak, I do think positive film would have become the dominant medium.

Unlike rodents, apparently.Perhaps he has some credibility in matters of common sense ?
Just how informed do you believe the public to be? Do you think they are better placed to make "a proper assessment?"Given your substantially inadequate answer, her misunderstanding is understandable.
How can you expect someone who is uninformed of the actual situation to make a proper assessment of the situation?
My wife has occasionally asked if anything is happening with the Italian film company.....and I've kept her updated. She's happy that I contributed what we could easily afford, to a cause that I personally wished to support. She's done similar. Plucking an idea from thin air, if she gives money to a child protection charity, I am not going to argue "That was a waste because there was a headline the other day about child abuse in Town X".
