Rem-Jet

[trendland]

For all 3 issues the photo-chemical industry got meanwhile better solutions.[/QUOTE]

Yes it might be correct - but notice ,
the demand to Motion Picture Films is increasing to 0,0000 ?
It is so dramaticaly changing from its speed like an implosion.
So we will see this films to the very last days - today.
If Kodaks contracts with the big studios in L.A. are running out (five years Afaik) and from what year was it 2013 ? Then - I am afraid of Quentin has to phone his friends
again ! But Harrison Ford will not pay some million $ from his personal bank
acount to finance our hobby!
Studios won't longer this cooperation with Kodak cause of nobody uses this stuff except Tarantino.
Tarantino is not able to pay for it. Harrison F. should be able but is not willing.
All other actors creating petition to protect cine films some years ago will say : It is enough now - Digital is fine !

I do not see how the oldfashioned application of rem-jet is related to the survival of cine camera-films, let alone our still films.
(By the way, the cine mass market was for print film.)

IIRC, the Agfa plant and others in Europe used other terms for this, but gradually the English term took over due to the pervasive use of Kodachrome in the industry. And, the term is actually of no practical use in terms of knowing the origin anyhow.

Current AH layers cannot be used for Kodachrome, and rem jet is impractical for E6 films or in fact, any current film other than Kodachrome.

Indirectly of cause - so we will not see a technical change to Motion Picture Film in regard of modernest methods you mentioned to avoid rem-jet - because Kodak is still happy to every month of further production.
The print film mass market is also a marketwith massive "anti-mass effects"
Do you know just one cinema outside India (and I would doubt on old technology in India) without Digital Projection ?

India was one of the first countries to have been digitalized.

I am not sure, but I think "Breitenseer Lichtspiele" in vienna doesn't have a digital projection system. I think its open since 1905... and since the owner uses the major part of her pension to run it, I doubt she would buy new projectors...

As far as I knew, India make about 1000 feature films per year.
Is there perhaps a large number of cinemas in India?
When talking about digitization, I immediately think about cinemas that have the right equipment.
A video projector and dolby sound installation.
In a country to distribution a movie, cinemas have the same system: film or digital.
Film distributor must be able to go the film in as many cinemas as possible, the more shows to be able to recover money with their license and film / digital.

Yes Bollywood is a big film industry.
In the past the most was on Video
(VHS,Hi8) some 16mm and premium 35mm production.
But today they might have some old cinemas with 35mm film projetors.
But I doubt on new films.
We should have our hope again to Quentin Tarantino because he is the right guy to fight for film.

The 1,000 Indian feature films is make on the film.
I'm thinking about how many prints made Indians for the distribution for each movie?
In addition, an Indian movie have about 3700-4000 meters, compared to a normal film of 2500-2700 meters.
Until 2000, the technical quality of video recordings was modest.
In the year 2000 I saw the first Romanian film shot in video and then transferred in the film, of good quality.
