Co.Design | business + design: With the transition to digital, the days of film--real film--are fast coming to an end. Go into a movie theater nowadays and sit down in the dark, and the picture on the screen won't be created by a light beaming through a strip of celluloid spinning through a film gate, but by pixels. As for projectionists? Locked alone in a booth, visible only as a silhouette hastily snatched through a small window beaming with light, the projectionist is a dying breed--and few are even noticing.

While it is sad in a nostalgic sort of way that real film is slowly disappearing, it's really just the way of things -- nothing lasts forever, and we'll always be moving on from one thing to another. However, I do think that the use of film will continue to exist in a small way (and be thought of sentimentally) in the same way that handwritten letters do. The photographs are still a compelling look what used to be, and a way to remember the history of film's progression.
