Pete Buckingham, Head of Distribution and Exhibition at the UK Film Council expressed his satisfaction that the Digital Screen Network had been completed. He said that although the roll-out of the 240 digital screen network was completed in April, it is really still very early days in quantifying the overall impact of the initiative. Technologically the scheme is working well, and there has been much positive feedback from the distribution and exhibition sectors of our industry, and from consumers, who are obviously benefitting from the digital experience. The DSN project was never meant to be primarily a technical project, however - its aim was to provide cinemagoers with a much wider choice of specialised film, and in this regard it really does seem to be achieving its aims, although it is still very early days. Its impact in providing wider access to a wider range of films for more people has already been demonstrated, and the Film Council has received much positive feedback from the industry.
