It&#8217;s a documentary that its tagline describes as &#8220;<em>about the science, art, and impact of digital cinema<\/em>&#8220;.\u00a0Keanu Reeves is our guide and a producer of this doc&#8217; in which we get to hear from a multitude of famous filmmakers about their opinion on the current transition from film to digital. These voices, apart from perhaps Robert\u00a0Rodriguez, are the opposite of Guerrilla Filmmakers. They are the establishment and the old guard. They are either waxing-nostalgic, celluloid-holdouts or they&#8217;re technocrats leaping into the digital age and embracing the newest, most expensive toys. These filmmakers are not talking about cameras or processes that your average\u00a0Guerrilla\u00a0can afford to use but the debate is interesting\u00a0despite\u00a0this. The interest lies in watching the Luddites claiming that digital is the end of cinema as they feel their monopoly and control failing. That&#8217;s as it should be: revolution is not without pain.<\/p>\n<p>A small section deals with the HDSLR movement in an off-hand way with established filmmakers\u00a0predictably\u00a0dismissing them while up-and-comers embrace them. \u00a0The whole thing reminded me of the\u00a0arguments\u00a0in still photography a decade ago that are now mostly forgotten. <em>Side by Side<\/em> is well crafted (digitally natch) but I wonder if it is of interest to anyone but other filmmakers and how long it will be at all relevant. That&#8217;s a pretty small audience and a pretty tight window. In the meantime, get it while you can as and I&#8217;m glad that these documentary filmmakers took the time to mark this moment in cinema history.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Joel Schumacher:<em> The people who&#8217;ve come before us gave the world new ways to dream.
