The Norwegian Digital Cinematheques - a D-Cinema project
The Norwegian Film Institute has initiated a project to screen digitised classics in cinematheques in seven cities all over Norway. Some of these cinematheques are already established, others are new. The objectives of the project have been: - To create a chain of seven digital cinematheques in Norway in Bergen, Kristiansand, Lillehammer, Oslo, Stavanger, Tromsų, and Trondheim
- To partly replace 35mm film with high quality digital formats (minimum 2K, DCI) for cinematheque screenings
- To make more classic films from world film history available for high quality cinematheque screenings, also including newer film, documentaries, shorts, and other films of special interest
- To make classic films in 2K and 4K resolution available for other art house cinemas or for film societies, and as high quality alternative content in commercial cinemas
- To set up an infrastructure for broadband HD-streaming of introductions and other film related events between the collaborating cinematheques
- To promote digitisation of classical Norwegian films to 2K or 4K.
Since October 2008 the seven cinematheques have had weekly screenings. On every Thursday at 18:00, the same film will be screened simultaneously in all the seven cities.
All screenings are digital from server and on 2K or 4K projectors. Click Program to have an impression of the films. More information contact Erlend.Jonassen[at]nfi.no +47 909 89 525
