What a travesty. Criminal even. AI is the worst thing to happen to art.

I dug out the page from the Cannes' Directors' Fortnight from 2003, where Interstella 5555 had its premiere at a special screening:
https://web.archive.org/web/20030626001037/http://www.quinzaine-realisateurs.com/fr/archives/fichefilm.asp?filmID=13923&todo=resume

It shows the film being shown from a 35mm print, which I had assumed would be the case. Hard to imagine it being produced in SD only and shown like that at Cannes or later in the cinema.

So, I guess it's true that they lost some master but I would also assume some film prints still exists. Maybe they opted for a cheaper upscale of a digital SD master they had at hand instead of doing a more expensive scan and restoration of a print?
