Um actually…

Chris Nolan doesn’t shoot digital. His more recent pictures (Interstellar included) are shot on a mixture of 35mm, 70mm and IMAX 70mm (!)

The light-sensitive chemicals in film also rely on the photoelectric effect! YOU CAN’T ESCAPE EINSTEIN, NOLAN.

What's the difference between 70mm and IMAX 70mm? Is it just the aspect ratio (2.20:1 vs 1.43:1)?

Yes, it’s an even larger format than traditional 70mm. The cells are physically larger. Anecdote: Nolan worked with Kodak to invent black & white IMAX film for Oppenheimer.

The film is run through the camera & projector sideways, allowing for a larger frame to be laid down on the same stock.
