Hot on the heels of HMV and Curzon Artificial Eye announcing they are teaming up to set up cinemas in selected HMV stores, Manchester's Cornerhouse made public The Art of With – an eassy by Charles Leadbeater that explores what open source ways of working mean for the arts.

I'm off to another Digital Cinema event tomorrow and taking with me the unanswerable question of how can independent cinemas afford the switch? Merely saying this is the future and that venues can't afford not to is not enough. As the golden era of capitol funding for the arts becomes something we reminisce about at dinner parties, the stark reality of a £65K bill for a digital projector is the uninvited guest of any film exhibitor's business plan.
Maybe I'll feel differently tomorrow....
