I suggest that a number of key principles, which we associate with digital media, such as sampling, random access, and the database, were already present in cinema from its first days. I also argue that digital media brings back pro-cinematic techniques which characterized the moving image in the nineteenth century and which were suppressed or eliminated by the twentieth century institution of cinema.
