When the feature film was invented all those years ago, there was a hum of excitement about its miraculous potential. The hum has returned, as digital technologies and the internet once again hold out a sense of amazing possibility. “The excitement that leaps off the news pages was much like the heat of the Edison-Griffith days: the sense that mankind was making a leap forward in consciousness at such speed and of such importance that no one could yet calculate its size or reach.” – The New Republic
