: Yet to be released to mass market cinemas, "Dogma," "a raucously funny satire," received exceptional reviews at the Cannes, New York and Toronto film festivals.
: "We are thrilled to present a feature length digital movie at the upcoming ShowEast convention. While the concept of 'end-to-end' digital cinema is still well in to the future, we are always happy to show off what we can do today. "Dogma" offers us the opportunity to screen a truly unique and inspired film on today's latest digital display technology," said Chuck Collins, Digital Projection’s National Market Development Manager.
: "Lions Gate Films is proud to collaborate with Digital Projection on a special digital screening of Kevin Smith's ‘Dogma,’" said Tom Ortenberg & Mark Urman, Co-Presidents of Lions Gate Films, Releasing.
