In further examining, my appetite for far more tales about Kodak – a company whose slide I analysed in 2012 was piqued by Bonnie Jones’s fascinating look at the revival in celluloid movie for The Believe that magazine. It has a good deal to say about the distinctions involving top-down administration (or path) and far more inclusive directorial types, inspired by the use of digital techniques. Purists could want for a return to Kodak-made celluloid, the report points out, but “the enlargement of digital has had a democratising impact not only on sets but also in the wider environment by opening movie to new tales, storytellers, and storytelling techniques”.
