every fathom event i have been to is a dcp. if a theatre doesn’t have the equipment to project film, it is a dcp.

fathom is also infamous for not doing a good job with their dcps. remember the bad publicity for the thing being shown in the wrong aspect ratio last year? i know i saw an anime one where they started it in the wrong part and i could see them rewinding the digital file.

the terms may be more technical. it might be a hard drive or a satellite download. but either way, neither of those is film.
