I feel that film will become less accessible as a result of digital technology's ever-increasing promise and presence in cinema. Right now, there isn't a “dominant” format; film and digital are like equals, using each other to create hybrid imagery unlike anything seen before or to be seen again. Digital uses film transfers, film uses digital intermediate processes, it's a relationship that won't last long, but it's interesting to see the two being cross-bred right now. This doesn't mean that film won't continue to be used, because artists will always desire the freedom of having a different image format to use for their production, and film can be used to suit many tastes, but digital is not only starting to meet these same expectations through stimulatory effects, but in some cases, also exceeds the boundaries one would traditionally encounter with the use of film. I do strongly believe that there will be a time that film does become obsolete. I mean, look at the recent decisions made by Kodak...if cutting 14,000 jobs in the film manufacturing sector isn't a clue, I don't know what to say that isn't already being screamed.
