ABSTRACT
Several avenues of thought allow us to understand what one calls digital technology in cinema. I will define it both in relation to filming and screening in the digital format, and to additional technology, such as 3D and most of today’s special effects and computer-generated images. When studying the aesthetics of digital technology in cinema, or more accurately, the perceptible manifestations of digital technology in cinema, the screen plays a central role. Indeed, at a time when 3D film screenings are commonplace, it is interesting to consider it as a new expression of a both old and common saying: coming out soon on your screen. Although this saying is still topical – it still describes each new release, each new film having the privilege of being projected in cinemas – history has now managed to go even further.
