We now insist on the DPI brand when sourcing our equipment for the Festival, to assure we deliver flawless digital screenings for our audience and filmmakers” added Steele. “We feel that this year will be even better because of the inclusion of DPI's 2k resolution projectors, at several of our key venues”.

We are humbled to be trusted with that role”.
