BBC NEWS | UK | Northern Ireland | Irish cinema 'set to go digital'

Ireland is set to become the world's first country to have digital film in every cinema.

All movie houses in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland are to have their traditional 35mm film projectors replaced.

The Irish Film Board said it would lead to a "pretty amazing" picture quality for cinemagoers.

"It's pure digital projection and picture perfect quality," said the board's Moira Horgan.

It says the new digital technology will see an end to flickering and scratching associated with some old projectors.

Fantastic!! :)
