Straighten out cinema funding - The funding package for the six-screen Beacon Cinemas project on North Street in Pittsfield is a complex one, with the various parts dependent upon one another to a degree, which makes the uncertainty about the Legislature's $1 million portion particularly worrisome. The funds may or may not have been included in the thoughtless $425 million in cuts Governor Romney decided to make last month, and we expect our legislators to determine the status of the money as soon as possible. If the money was cut, we assume the Berkshires'legislative delegation will make its restoration a high priority as soon it moves back into session in January. With the swearing-in of a new governor, Deval Patrick, who is attuned to the Berkshires and realizes the need for communities to rebuild their downtowns by attracting people to them, it should be easy for the legislators to make the case for the project.

Major UK cinema chain trials D-Cinema model - Odeon and UCI cinemas, the leading cinema chain in the UK owned by Terra Firma Capital Partners, has embarked on a beta test of D-Cinema equipment for the complete conversion of two multiplex cinemas, for a total of 18 screens. The deployments will constitute the first all digital multiplex in the UK, and each site will be managed separately as part of the test phase. Bell Theatre Services will install and maintain equipment from NEC and Kodak at Odeon multiplex in Hatfield, while Arts Alliance Media will handle installation and ongoing service provision for the Odeon site in Surrey Quays, using projectors and servers from Cinemeccanicca and Doremi respectively. Several distributors have given their backing to supply content for the test deployment, including LionsGate UK, Pathe Distribution, Universal, Twentieth Century Fox and Sony. Other distributors and content providers will also reportedly be participating in the test phase, which will last for a period of six months. The first digital film will be shown in February at Odeon Surrey Quays, where Arts Alliance have also agreed to encode and deliver digital advertising from Carlton Screen Advertising. Odeon currently has around 30 screens participating in the UK Film Council DSN project, so it already has some experience with the technology, although UCI was first involved with alternative content screenings in very early days of D-cinema (pre DCI).
