Death by Digital (2025)
Death by Digital is a short documentary that examines the fading legacy of film photography in Sri Lanka through the eyes of those who lived it. Featuring candid interviews with a veteran photographer and a longtime color lab owner, the film traces the industry’s transition from analogue to digital, revealing the quiet disappearance of an art form. With poetic visuals and a reflective tone, the documentary invites audiences to consider what is lost when tradition gives way to convenience—and whether film still has a place in a digital world.
