It also founds Dimension Pictures, a genre speciality division. 1998 – Netflix, an online DVD rental service, is founded. The Danish Dogme 95 film The Celebration proves that a movie shot on digital video can find success as a theatrical release. It inspires a wave of independent films shot in digital video formats. 1999 – The Blair Witch Project attracts audiences through a daring Inter- net campaign built around fictional documents and witch sightings. (In March 1999, Titanic is first DVD title to ship 1 million units). And Toy Story 2 earns $245 million. 1999 – American Beauty wins Best Picture/Director/Original screenplay at Oscars. TiVo introduces the Personal Video Recorder (PVR), which allows pro- grammes and movies to be stored digitally. Later, PVRs will allow copying from the hard drive to DVD.

Cold Mountain becomes the first major studio production to be edited on Apple’s Final Cut Pro. 2004 – Major distributors turn down The Passion of the Christ – released by Newmarket – and it earns more than $600 million worldwide, becoming one of the most profitable movies in history. Home video rentals and purchases, driven by the DVD format, reach a record high of 24 billion. (See ‘The Art of Distribution: Video on Demand’. Lucas Hilderbrand reports on Digital Innovations in Arthouse distribution, Film Quarterly Winter 2010.) Over the last number of years there has been a downturn in sales of DVDs, in the USA at least, but the jury is still out regarding their eventual disappearance. 2006 – YouTube – a video-sharing website that became a global phenomenon – was bought by Google for $1.65 billion, dramati- cally increasing and extending an erstwhile Internet search engine’s new-media importance. 2007 – iPhone developed by global corporation Apple, pushing innova- tions of portable digital devices alongside the appeal of music down- loads with iTunes and the huge growth of helpful ‘apps’ (computer applications), which can be downloaded from the Internet.
