Side by Side by Christopher Kenneally (2012, 99 min.). The traditional film and digital moviemaking debate is brought to the forefront in Christopher Kenneally’s documentary, and includes interviews conducted by Keanu Reeves that feature a who’s who of world cinema: David Lynch, Christopher Nolan, Steven Soderbergh, Martin Scorsese, James Cameron, Danny Boyle, and David Fincher.
