What I appreciate in film is that with the development of technology, we can extract more information out of it, retroactively. This is a big contrast to digital media, where the information is coded as-is, and with increasing accuracy, we can only hope for a more reliable reading of the same thing. For one thing, film's analogue information density enables us to have 4k or even higher renders of the original footage, instead of relying on the versions rendered for their then-current time.
