Looking forward to this!

I need this documentary in my life NOW!

Haven't been this excited about a documentary in a long time! Looks truly exceptional, can't wait to see it ^_^

This looks brilliant!

Looks fascinating

Looks like it will be well worth watching.

Fascinating, cannot wait to see this. Thoughts of some of the biggest names in cinema, they have to cound for something. I'm so glad that I got to shoot something on film during my very early film career.

As a film lover who has only really ever shot 16mm and 35mm this looks fascinating. Digital is here and it's REALLY exciting to embrace change. Bring it on!

David Lynch! Enough said.

Well, okay, maybe not. This is going to be a very, very interesting documentary. I use both (in still photography - I'm not a film-maker) but film has the 'magic'.

I really do hope film survives. But digital has made learning photography so much easier for today's beginners. Thank God for both media!

whoa, got really freaked out for a sec then - at 1:20 the guy at the monitor looks like me and my brain went 'poof' is that me?

I want to see it so much! Congratulations!

By the way, i hate 3D too...

Really looking forward to this!

Looks brilliant, can't wait to check this out.

Awesome... gonna be so interesting to hear the story and opinions from both sides!

Will this be available to purchase online?

Oh my god. This is perfect!

i can NOT wait to see this film...on video.

This doc just seems to be about the present state of Cinema, I'd like to see a Doc about the mind blowing futurist projections for the art form of cinema. What's beyond 5K 3D with high frame rates? A whole new realm for storytelling that our brains aren't yet ready for?

cool !

Oohh, I want to see this!

Can't wait to watch this.

Absolutely fantastic.

oh my god, beam this directly into my brain immediately.

This looks spectacular. So relevant to current issues. Kodak just filed for chapter 11, they are right down the street from me and the news of that is being felt all over the city. We keep moving further and further away from film. I'd really like to see what these big guy have to say about it.

I can't wait to see it. As a filmmaker who will probably never in his life shoot on film I yet am quite fascinated by the magic of a film-based way of making films.

Keanu Reeves once described it quite beautifully:

"The biggest difference I have found when working photochemically versus digitally on motion pictures is the length of time the takes can last. Broadly, a 1,000ft roll of 35mm film lasts around nine-and-a-half minutes before running out, while a digital tape or recording card or hard drive can last from 40 minutes to over an hour and a half. This translates to a very different rhythm on the floor; the pressure to "cut" to save film is alleviated.

Archiving digital images is a technological dilemma. The idea of that discovered shoebox of pictures, or wedding album, will not exist digitally in your camera or on your computer or in a "cloud": you should print them. I often feel a photochemical image contains the mass of the subject and dimension; a digital image often feels as if it is mass-less. This could be nostalgia or simply how I learned to see. Others will not have this learning: they will probably never experience a photochemical image. Is this loss a tragedy, a revolution, an evolution? What have we lost, and what have we gained?

I will miss walking on to a photochemical film set. It has a magic to me. When the director says: "Action", and the film is rolling, it feels like something is at stake. It feels important and intense. In a way, death is present in the rolling of that film – we live, right now – and the director says: "Cut". And that moment in time is captured on film, really."

THIS! I want to see. I love using film for still photography, but I also see the beauty of digital. I really hope this gives both mediums the love they deserve.

About time!

If you like 'Side by Side' you'll probably like 'PressPausePlay', it also documents the power of digital tools for artists today =). vimeo.com/34608191

Looks amazing!! I have to see this. When?!?

I'll be the first in line to see this when it comes out stateside. (or buy the blu-ray, or on-demand it) Definitely keep us updated about release dates!

Can't wait to see this!

Brilliant topic, which has excited many people out there, including those who never thought they would be excited by such things. A true democratic creative revolution. When can we see it? I'm based in the UK and on occasions in NYC.

Christopher Nolan and Wally Pfister for the win!

I can't wait to see this - I've always wanted to shoot film but I don't believe I'll ever have the budget for it.
No desire for 3D either haha. can't wait to see this!

I feel there is something not being consider by most in this conversation. Film forces more detailed Pre-Production. Digital has you assuming it can be changed whether it's a pixel or a frame edge. Film desires excellent pre-production. Digital like it's color depth curve has a different curve in filmmaker work ethic effect.

Very valid point there James. Digital does not put any emphasis on the moment and execution of a film and no matter which one is better ends up for a poorer result. Every Oscar for best Cinematography has been a film shot on film.... barring AVATAR... The Hurtlocker...a lot of which was shot on S16...Black Swan entirely on S16... i think these type of films show film still has a while to go before people give up on it...as long as KODAK survives bankruptcy

I hope they interviewed Tommy Wiseau.

We need a release date!! I look forward to seen this!!!

Yeah really looking forward to watching that one!

This is a documentary.

nice

Awesome!!

When can we see it!?

I'd love to see this! Can't wait.

Wainting for it! I hope to see it on Argentina, but mmmmm i doubt it.

This is a constant subject of discussion in our production office. Can't wait for this documentary!

Okay I want to see this now, right now, literally now.

ha. Don't hold me to it Keanu, but I think I would pay money to see this movie.

This looks AMAZING

I just hope they're able to make a difference btw a 5D and an Alexa, my iPhone is as digital as an Epic :)

it's kinda breath taking discussion between digital vs film. celluloid vs data. whutever...this would be tremendous documentary. good work !

Looking forward to this!

this is very interesting

The documentary itself was made with Panasonic cameras...
...we're just curious - is that an HPX250 or an HPX170?

can wait, should be very interesting

Brilliant idea to give a message to public about evolution to 3D.
