Alongside traditional film delivery for 35mm theatrical release, Digital Pictures created a Digital Cinema Package (DCP) using a DCI compliant Dolby Digital Cinema Mastering service and all delivery items including a HD Blu-ray DVD.

Balibo

Directed by Robert Connolly and produced by John Maynard, Balibo opened the Melbourne International Film Festival in July. Balibo centres around the investigation of the murders of five Australian journalists in Balibo in 1975. Digital Pictures handled the Digital Intermediate and deliverables including traditional film and a DCP. The success of the Balibo grade and the film’s final look is due to the extensive collaboration between Lustre colourist Brett Manson, the DOP Tristan Milani and the director. The film, which was shot on 16mm, has three distinct looks which are critical elements in the storytelling.
