Preparing a digital cinema room for the home

Designing a session experience means caring for the moment before the film begins.

Technology supports the moment

A digital cinema room is more than a screen. It combines image, sound, access, protection and an experience that lets you enter the film without unnecessary friction.

The goal is for quality to adapt to the compatible device while maintaining one product proposal for TV, computer, tablet and mobile.

A session is a conscious decision

At BUTACCA, a session would start explicitly. Before doing so, viewers would be told that the film continues to the end and cannot be paused. That commitment to the work’s time is part of the proposal.

The current demo explores this idea through an original entrance sequence. It does not sell tickets or play commercial films.

CINEMA AT HOME, WITH INTENTION

The film session we want to bring home

BUTACCA proposes a way to watch cinema that begins before the first scene: discover a film, choose a session and make room for it in the evening. It is neither a flat-rate service nor an endless library; each title would have its own ticket, availability and conditions.

When the service is available, purchase would happen on the web and be linked to an account after payment is verified. Opening an app would not start the film: the viewer would explicitly start the session when ready.

  • A considered programme to find the next story.
  • A session for compatible television, computer, tablet or mobile.
  • Clear conditions before purchase and before the film starts.

Frequently asked questions

Is BUTACCA already selling sessions?

No. BUTACCA is in development: the website and demo explain the proposal, but there are no ticket sales or commercial exhibition active yet.

What happens when a film window ends?

Availability must end when the exhibition authorisation agreed with the distributor expires.
