Re: labelsTo John Porter & Pip Chodorov:
Film is allways are reproduction. But in this age we can still see the difference between a reproduction on film and a "digital copy".
There has been in times "fake painting" that people has misstaken for originals (and I don't simply mean because of the most common reason, that one is "uninformed").
But if is the projection form (or rather; how it is percieved) then... One day the digital reproductions will be so close to the filmic original elements that we can't see a difference (if both are projected). That day, will there still be a difference? Or rather (because certainly there is a difference - but probably more so for the maker in the production stage rather than in the projection stage) can a viewer claim the difference?
Are the new Star Wars "movies" today films simply because they are projected on film, even though 90% of the background was digitally made. Or those *** that was shoot on completely on i.e. DV, are they films when transfered to film?

(why should the projection form decide over the production form?).

Maybe, but I think you are still complicating the issue.
If you see a picture of a painting in a book, do you call it a "painting," a "picture" or a "book"?
The production form was painting, so most people would say painting. The same should be true for cinema and electronic media. To be precise, one would say "a reproduction."
