[Leica] no film in a decade

[langeratcarleton at gmail.com (Mark Langer)]

A very few films are shot in digital and transferred to film.  But so far,
the industry has resisted the move to video as a theatrical exhibition
format.  Most of the resistance is coming from theatre chains, which are
reluctant to invest in the enormous costs of changing to a technology that
may have to be updated at great cost in a few years.
