This year, two of Picturetime's inflatable digital cinemas will serve as screening venues at DIFF.Festival director Ritu Sarin said: "Before we teamed up with Picturetime in 2018, we had no way of showing digital cinema packages, the preferred digital screening format internationally. Our partnership with Picturetime helped us to overcome that technical hurdle. Picturetime's state-of-the-art digital facilities and its knowledgeable technical team have really helped DIFF move to the next level. This year, we're more excited than ever because we're adding a second Picturetime mobile digital cinema, and expanding even further our capacity to screen films at the highest quality."Other highlights include Shaunak Sen's Cannes Golden Eye winner 'All That Breathes', Chinese filmmaker Qiu Jiongjiong's 'Jiao Ma Tang Hui' (A New Old Play), Gurvinder Singh's 'Adh Chanani Raat' and more.The festival will also host talks, masterclasses and interactive sessions at the Picturetime venues.Talking about his association with DIFF, Sushil Chaudhary, Founder & CEO, Picturetime Digiplex, said in a statement: "A good film festival requires good technology to do justice to the cinematic experience. When we first associated with DIFF, the idea was to add value by bringing the best digital facilities. We have fulfilled this mission over five wonderful years so far."Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
