According to Ian Calderon, a Founder and Senior Consultant to the Sundance Institute, this is the first time ever filmmakers will have the option to exhibit their cinematic creations on digital video. "After seeing Digital Projection's displays in action, I decided to test the system at last year's Piper-Heidsieck Tribute and again at the June Filmmakers Lab. The extraordinary image, color and clarity convinced me that DPI was the leading technology of choice for the 2000 Festival. These projectors can deliver the creative and aesthetic vision of a filmmaker working in video," said Calderon. "DPI technology has evolved into potent creative force for visual storytelling and we believe these projectors will serve as a flexible imaging tool for tomorrow's filmmakers."
