Technologies in digital cinema are quickly changing the way contemporary filmmakers create films and how audiences currently perceive them. As we move onward into the digital turn, it becomes ever more apparent that the medium of film has been emancipated from its dependence on the photograph. Directors are no longer required to capture the objectively real as it sits before the photographic lens, but can essentially construct it via groundbreaking advancements in computer-generated imagery, motion capture technology, and digital 3D camera systems and display technologies. Since the origins of film, spectators and filmmakers have assumed an existing relationship between reality and the photographic image. Yet digital film technologies now provide us with hyper-facsimiles of reality that are perceived as photographic, but are often created by way of computer processes. Digital cinema currently allows the viewer to inhabit and interact with cinematic realities in unprecedented ways, and it is this contemporary paradigmatic shift from the analog to the digital that has catalyzed fundamentally new ways of looking at the filmic image. In this paper, I will examine the perceptual complexities of contemporary digital film through the lens of these cinematic technologies by examining their impact on the viewer’s experience.

Les salles de cinéma sont passées à l'ére numérique. L'objectif de cette thèse est d'étudier le déploiement du cinéma numérique pour les salles d'art et essai et de proposer des solutions techniques ouvertes, basées sur des logiciels libres et gratuits. Nous présentons les impacts du passage au numérique pour les distributeurs et les exploitants indépendants. Nous détaillons le fonctionnement du cinéma numérique : de la création de contenu au format DCP, au système de projection en salles. Dans cette thèse, nous proposons deux solutions : une solution de projection basée sur le lecteur multimédia VLC, et un système de transmission dématérialisée de DCP des distributeurs vers les exploitants. / Movie theaters have switched to the digital era. The objective of this thesis is to study the deployment of digital cinema for arthouse cinemas and to propose open technical solutions based on free and open source software. We present the impacts of the digital switch for independent distributors and exhibitors. We detail the workflow of the digital cinema specification: from creation of DCP content to the projection system in theaters. This thesis offers two solutions: a projection system based on the VLC media player, and a dematerialized transmission system of DCP from distributors to exhibitors.

Peruvian auteur cinema has faced problems of distribution and cinematographic exhibition in the windows of massive scope. Most of the exhibition windows have been monopolized by big Hollywood productions. Currently, the mandatory confinement due to COVID-19 has accelerated and materialized a digital transformation process that was under development. That is why the main objective of the research seeks to analyze how the digital transformation in the distribution and exhibition channels contributes to Peruvian auteur cinema. In order to carry out this objective, an interpretative research was conducted with a qualitative data methodology. The selected categories were: auteur cinema, digital transformation and distribution and exhibition channels. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with specialists in marketing and film production. In conclusion, from the perspective of the specialists, it is indicated that such transformation allows opening markets and serving audiences that were historically neglected before. Finally, there was a lack of specialization in the different areas of distribution and audience development, demonstrating the importance of the participation of professionals specialized in marketing to lead these processes. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.

MIA-mi is a feature-length, micro-budget, and digital motion picture, produced, written, and directed by Yesenia Lima in pursuit of the Master of Fine Arts in Entrepreneurial Digital Cinema from the University of Central Florida. The film is a satirical and naturalistic look at the standing global image of a city, Miami, FL, and its inhabitants. The guiding question behind the production is whether a portrayal of a city, outside of its stereotypical portrait in mass media, could spark and affect a dialogue on the global image of the city and its inhabitant's ability to adjust that image rather than conform to it. The film was produced in a micro-budget (under $50,000) model, following the program's guidelines. It was shot on location in Miami, FL, with a volunteer cast and crew. This thesis is a record of the film's development from inception to post-production, in preparation for distribution.

O objetivo deste trabalho é a pesquisa dos processos para realização cinematográfica, em especial os que lançam mão de tecnologia digital, e a proposição de um modelo de tecnologia alternativa para a realização de film transfer. Tomando como objeto os principais processos para realização cinematográfica, discutimos seu fluxo de trabalho, equipamentos, vantagens, desvantagens e buscamos estabelecer paralelos com as tecnologias alternativas, de maneira a acumular conhecimento para a elaboração do modelo. O modelo de tecnologia alternativa para film transfer sugerido é o resultado da adaptação, numa premissa de baixo custo, de tecnologias de vanguarda evidenciadas nas reflexões sobre a realização. / This work objective is the research of the filmmaking process, particularly when utilizing digital technology, and the proposal of an alternative technology model to accomplish film transfer. Assessing the major filmmaking processes, we discuss their workflow, equipments, advantages, disadvantages and attempt to establish parallels with alternative technologies, in a way that knowledge is amassed towards the definition of said model. The proposed alternative technology model for film transfer results from the adaptation, restricted by a low cost premise, of high end technology ascertained during the reflections on the filmmaking process.

For those, i made a analise of this new formats of cinema that came show thru the new tecnologies of digital web comunications. One of this cases is the cinema in the worl wide web, show directely in internet, oppenin a question of what is cinema in the web. To identify this new format, we analise the sites Atom Films (www.atomfilms.com.br) and Porta Curtas, a site especialized in brazilian shorts in the web, for a significative exemple of this changes. The other case is mobile cinema, in podcasts e celular phones, that became popular in last years. Based on Arlindo Machado e Lev Manovich Theory, the way to make this analise show the realtions of cinema and others cultural texts around it, pushing the discution of cinema in the center of the discussion of cultural web. Thru this perspective, we can conclue that the integration between cinema and web promotes the hibridization of video and computer language in its signification process. This can make a language that promotes the integration of fotoquimic images with eletronic and digitals images, pointing new ways to audiovisual in the context of on line comunication / Este estudo busca identificar as transformações da linguagem cinematográfica a partir da sua integração ao formato digital nos meios de telecomunicação em rede, notadamente a Internet e os dispositivos móveis. Para tanto, partimos da análise de novos formatos de cinema que têm se mostrado através das novas tecnologias de comunicação em redes digitais. Um destes casos é o cinema na web, apresentado diretamente na Internet, abrindo um questionamento do que seja cinema dentro da rede. Para identificar este novo padrão, analisaremos o site "AtomFilms" (www.atomfilms.com.br) e o Porta Curtas, site especializado em curtas metragem brasileiros na web, como exemplo significativo desta mudança. Outro caso é o cinema portátil, cinema em podcast e em celulares, formato que tem se popularizado nos últimos anos. Baseados nos pressupostos teóricos de Arlindo Machado e Lev Manovich, a metodologia de análise privilegia as relações do cinema com os vários textos culturais que o rodeiam, inserindo a discussão sobre o cinema no âmbito da cultura de rede. Dessa perspectiva, pode-se concluir que a integração do cinema à web, promove a sua hibridação com o vídeo e a informática em seus processos de significação. Isto gera uma linguagem que integra as imagens fotoquímicas com imagens eletrônicas e digitais, indicando novos desdobramentos do audiovisual no contexto da comunicação on line

A partir da teoria da Dobra de Deleuze e dos preceitos da Perspectiva Inversa de Pável Floriênski, serão analisadas obras pictóricas, que vão do Barroco, passando pela Bauhaus, chegando até Francis Bacon. Tais obras entrarão em sintonia com a filmografia de Sokurov utilizando o termo da “distorção elástica”, pressupondo um deslocamento não-espacial e temporal-não-linear através da análise fílmica e estética das obras. A adaptação de Fausto de Goethe realizada pelo cineasta russo em 2012, será o elemento condutor ao elucidar o trânsito imagético do suporte analógico para o digital e suas potencialidades estéticas de subversão à perspectiva linear. / The present work intends to elucidate the mechanisms that denied the linear perspective inherited from Ancient Greece and emphasized in the Renaissance period, to undergo the process of distortion of this mechanism of representation. From the theory of Deleuze's Dobra and the precepts of the Inverse Perspective of Pável Floriênski, will be analyzed pictorial works, ranging from the Baroque, passing by the Bauhaus, reaching Francis Bacon. Such works will be in tune with the filmmaking of the Russian filmmaker Alexandr Sokurov using the term "elastic distortion", presupposing a non-spatial and non-linear displacement through the filmic and aesthetic analysis of works. Goethe's Faust's adaptation by the Russian filmmaker in 2012 will be the driving element in elucidating the imaginary transit from analog to digital support and its aesthetic potential from subversion to linear perspective.

Started to have sound and colours; visual, special, three-dimensional and multisensory effects, and now, interactivity. These changes have provided to the public increasingly realistic experiences while viewing a movie. These experiences can be obtained through technologies deployed in audiovisual and sometimes in his own screening room to capture the movement or the voice of the audience, with the purpose of providing a direct interaction of the viewer with the film displayed. New versions of technological tools are constantly emerging to assist the cinematography. However, the prior techniques do not cease to exist, all has been embedded, aggregating in a process of evolution and technical repositioning, making it possible to use the interactivity. Here we developed a system called MERCI, which provides the interaction between viewers and the audiovisual by sending text messages via mobile. The MERCI also provides technical support to the nonlinear film-editing of the audiovisual narrative and the user management. The director or the editor of the work will be responsible for handling these issues. Some work already developed were compared to MERCI, however here is to offer a model of interactivity which uses a new way to plan and develop the narrative. / O cinema tem evoluído continuamente desde a sua criação. Passou a ter som, cores, efeitos visuais, especiais, tridimensionais, multissensoriais, e agora interatividade. Tais mudanças têm proporcionado ao público experiências cada vez mais realistas durante a exibição de um filme. Estas podem ser obtidas através de tecnologias implantadas no audiovisual e, algumas vezes, na própria sala de projeção para captação de movimento da plateia ou da voz de espectadores, com a finalidade de proporcionar uma interação direta do espectador com o filme exibido. Novas versões de ferramentas tecnológicas surgem constantemente para auxiliar a cinematografia, no entanto, as técnicas que as antecederam não deixam de existir, todas têm se encaixado, agregando-se em um processo de evolução e reposicionamento técnico tornando possível o uso da interatividade. Apresentamos aqui um sistema intitulado MERCI, que proporciona a interação entre espectadores e o audiovisual através do envio de mensagens de texto realizado por meio de dispositivo móvel. O MERCI também fornece o suporte técnico à montagem não linear da narrativa audiovisual e ao gerenciamento de usuários. O diretor ou o montador da obra será o responsável pela manipulação destes aspectos. Alguns trabalhos foram comparados ao MERCI, entretanto este vem a oferecer um modelo de interatividade que se utiliza de uma outra forma para planejar e desenvolver a narrativa.

A tecnologia digital, mais do que diversidade de suporte, causou grandes impactos no cinema, mudando todo o processo que envolve um filme, desde a escrita do roteiro, passando pela produção, pós- produção e difusão, lançando transformações também na preservação. Objetivamos pesquisar quais foram os principais impactos destas transformações sobre o cinema e sobre o ensino da área nas instituições de ensino superior brasileiras. Além de postulados bibliográficos, que nos ajudaram a verificar que o mundo e os seres humanos mudaram com a tecnologia digital, utilizamos documentos de escolas de cinema nacionais e internacionais, bem como entrevistas com seus docentes, dirigentes, estudantes e egressos, para traçar panoramas analíticos acerca dos contextos gerais e particulares do cinema e do ensino. Na primeira parte da tese verificamos que o número de escolas de cinema e audiovisual brasileiras cresceram em 250%, potencializado por políticas públicas para a educação, pelas facilidades trazidas pelas tecnologias emergentes e pela intensificação de interesse dos jovens que nasceram em meio a um universo saturado de imagens e sons. Nas partes seguintes estudamos as metamorfoses do cinema analógico para o digital, hasteando como isto trouxe vantagens para a formação de realizadores egressos dos cursos de bacharelado e tecnologia em cinema e audiovisual. / The digital technology, more than the diversity of the support itself, have caused great impact on filmmaking, changing every step regarding the film production: from the script development to film production, post-production, distribution and also, preservation. Our aim is to develop a research into what were the main impacts of those transformations over Cinema and over Brazilian teaching institutions of higher education. Besides bibliographic hypothesis, that had assisted us on presenting the main aspects of human change when in contact with digital technology, we used official documents from international and national cinema institutions, as well as interviews with faculty members, chairmen, and alumnae to trace an analytical panel about general and specific topics of filmmaking and film schools. On the first part of the thesis, we verified that the number of Brazilian Film Schools had increased in 250%, probably leveraged by public policies on education, emerging technological facilities and by the increased interest on young students, born in an universe impregnated with images and sounds. On the following parts, we conducted a study onto the metamorphosis of analog film into digital, emphasizing on the advantages noticed by the students when earning diploma.
