South African villages to get digital

South African villages to get digital
cinema network 04/05/2005 09:23 PM
Xeni Jardin: Excerpt from Variety article:

The vast majority of South Africa's 40-million people have never been to the cinema, kept away by the legacy of apartheid, poverty and language barriers. But the nation's exhibs are hoping to change that by using the indigenous filmmaking along with digital technology to connect to the missing multitudes (...)

Starting in September, Shout Africa will roll out 20 digital cinemas around the country where facilities are most lacking, to make the movies affordable and accessible. Shout Africa chief executive Lance Samuels says that for local producers, these cinemas will provide another distribution outlet as well as the opportunity to build new audiences.

Locally produced films in indigenous languages and English will be shown alongside foreign features, with subtitles in the vernacular language of the region of the cinema.Besides the usual popcorn and soft drinks, popular traditional township foods such as maize porridge, spicy sausages, samp (hominy), mealies (corn on the cob) and fried chicken will be on sale to help make the d-cinema experience more African.

Samuels says d-cinemas will be located in revamped township community centers to create a quality experience, including comfortable chairs, high quality digital projection and state of the art surround sound. And, hoping to seal the deal, prices will be much lower than at urban multiplexes.

Wonder what kind of gear the company will be installing? Will this be true cinema-grade digital projection, or something cruddier and lower-res (and, hence, more affordable)? Either way, it's fascinating news, and points to one of the greatest promises of this technology. Which hardware manufacturer(s) will be involved?

Here's more info on the "Shout Africa" d-cinema initiative, Link, by way of Sithengi -- a company that promotes the South African television and film industry.

Link to Variety story (paid sub required, but the story seems to be largely cribbed from the Sithengi press release anyway... )

National Research Council urges patent
reform

National Research Council urges patent
reform 04/23/2004 12:18 AM

The United States National Research Council has issued a call for reforming the patents sector of intellectual property . The Council's recommendations include: expanded research of patented works without fear of legal retribution; awarding patent to first filers, rather than first inventors; increased resources and flexibility for the United States Patent and Trademark Office .

Continued innovation in the development of new technologies and products in this country suggests that the current patent system does not require a major overhaul, said the committee that wrote the report. However, economic and legal transitions have strained the system in recent decades, making clear the need for change.
