What is film? What is the future of film? How are digital technologies changing the nature and production of film? What is the future of Hollywood? How is the Internet changing the film industry's models of production, distribution and consumption?

These are some of the questions considered by participants of the 'What is Film?' conference. This conference will feature a unique coalescing of film professionals, film and media scholars and students, government and community officials, as well as film fans. The event will feature keynote speakers, roundtables, paper presentations, screenings, receptions and workshops, in an attempt to answer questions about the changing nature of cinema.
