EDITOR'S INTRODUCTION | Digital filmmaking is significantly changing the movie industry, from concept to distribution. Production costs are coming down, and every computer screen in the world is becoming a potential venue. The playing field has been dramatically widened, with amateurs and seasoned Hollywood professionals competing in the same market. The change in available formats is having a dramatic effect on the content of current and upcoming film projects. This panel of filmmakers, content providers and industry innovators, who convened at the American Film Institute's Digital Symposium in October 2000, discuss new opportunities for creativity made possible by digital film.



Panelists discuss how digital film is creating new modes of artistic expression and mass entertainment.
