<description><![CDATA[ (Apr 25, 2013) The movie world is changing the way it makes films.  Hollywood studios are going digital and later this year will no longer release films on film. Movie projectors are disappearing during this digital revolution.   For most small theaters, the price to upgrade to digital equipment can be staggering, and the change is putting many in a very difficult financial situation — upgrade costs are as high as $100,000.The Adirondack Film Society and Adirondack North Country Association are kicking off a campaign Friday night at the Palace Theatre in Lake Placid to raise money to help local theaters complete the digital upgrades needed to continue to operate.  Todd Moe has more on the Go Digital or Go Dark world premiere.

<title>Keeping a movie theater quaint, and open</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/20257/20120808/keeping-a-movie-theater-quaint-and-open</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Aug 8, 2012) A South Glens Falls man opened a small movie theater earlier this summer and says he’s not worried about the film industry’s decision to switch distributing first run features from film to digital.   Jerry Aratare says his single-screen Cinematheque shows foreign and first-run movies, though usually a couple of weeks later than the larger movie theaters.   The 82-year-old Aratare got his first movie theater job as a projectionist in 1951 in Vermont.  He’s opened about a dozen small theaters in the region over the years.  He told Todd Moe that his newest theater has 66 seats, a decades-old projector he’s dubbed “the old workhorse”, and a “hometown” atmosphere.
