QuVIS Cinema Systems provided digital cinema mastering and playback services for 130 screenings at the 2006 Venice Film Festival. QuVIS digitally mastered 35 films for the 11-day marathon, with assistance from Impianti Televisivi Cinema, QuVIS' authorized distributor in Italy. The screenings included that of the Chinese feature "Still Life," directed by Jia Zhang-Ke and produced by Chow Keung, which was the first digitally screened film to be awarded the festival's Golden Lion Award for the best film.
"Still Life" was one of two offerings at the festival from the team of Keung and Zhang-Ke
. The production company turned to the Beijing Film Academy and its state-of-the-art production equipment to master both presentations. Students and faculty mastered the film "Dong" and "Still Life" using a QuVIS Acuity. The digital packages were then delivered to Lido on a hard drive, and the QuVIS site team loaded the files to a QuVIS Cinema System for multiple screenings.
