journal article		Database economy and transnational cinema in Studies in Australasian cinema (2009) vol.3 iss.2 p.155-166 Author: Cubitt, Sean PhysDes: Article Subject: DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY. AUSTRALIA; DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY. NEW ZEALAND; DIGITAL PROJECTION; INDUSTRY, FILM. AUSTRALIA; INDUSTRY, FILM. NEW ZEALAND Summary: Digital or electronic cinemas are dependent on a global regime of standards covering such features as aspect ratios, colour gamuts, screen resolution and compression-decompression algorithms. These standards are worked out by a variety of intersecting organizations representing a variety of interests. This article argues that such standardization is isomorphic with the convergence of biopolitical and commodity forms in an emergent political economy that can be described as a database economy. This infrastructure of standards and ordering principles constitutes an actually existing transnational public sphere. The article discusses the possibilities for developing an alter-globalizing public sphere in digital cinemas, testing three possible avenues: cinemas of the silent majority, new modes of distribution and content-driven approaches. It concludes by asking whether vanguard practices of building new forms of cinema apparatus may be essential to the construction of alter-globalizing transnational cinemas. -- Abstract Notes: Part of a special issue on digital cinema in Australia and New Zealand More info

journal article		VaultAge : digitizing and contextualizing Australian audio-visual content: Australianscreen online (aso.gov.au) in Studies in Australasian cinema (2009) vol.3 iss.2 p.205-222 Author: Aveyard, Karina PhysDes: Article Subject: DIGITAL CINEMA; DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION; DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY. AUSTRALIA; INDUSTRY, FILM. AUSTRALIA; NATIONAL FILM AND SOUND ARCHIVE; EXHIBITION. AUSTRALIA Summary: Australia is on the path to achieving a full-scale conversion to digital cinema exhibition probably within the next five to ten years. Despite early optimism that digitization could provide a catalyst for greater democratization of the Australian exhibition market by creating more opportunities for audiences to see independent and alternate films, this outcome now appears far from certain. The launch and ongoing roll-out of the international standard for digital exhibition, which is now firmly controlled by the major American studios, is intensifying, rather than diminishing, the market dominance of these media conglomerates and their local allies, the major Australian exhibition chains. Independent film exhibition and alternative presentation formats, on the other hand, are being pushed even further to the periphery by these increasingly centralized market forces. While independent and major exhibitors have historically coexisted, although at times in a somewhat uneasy relationship, the financial imperatives of digital cinema now threaten to drive many independent cinemas to the edge, and with them the ongoing diversity of cinema culture in Australia. Of particular concern is the late of independent theatres in regional and rural locations where many provide the only public screening opportunities within large geographic areas. This article outlines digital developments in Australia's commercial cinema industry within a national and international context, and in doing so considers the impact of digital exhibition technologies on Australia's independent cinema sector. -- Abstract Notes: Part of a special issue on digital cinema in Australia and New Zealand More info
