Film Exhibition; Others
1) Cinema, TV, DVD & Online
- The shift to home viewing on portable devices has been the most significant development in non-theatrical film distribution. The introduction of new technologies such as satellite and cable television, videocassettes, DVDs and the Internet have helped to revolutionise this area.
- Home Exhibition has been a viable option for exhibitor's since the 1920s after the introduction of portable 16mm equipment.
- It was not the late 80's that the home became the major site for film exhibition, this trend was reinforced by the introduction of digital cinema and the Internet.
