film is becoming a niche product, like vinyl
a couple of large film companies, for example, have stopped making it, and are running out their stock levels.
Digital is very attractive to filmmakers for a number of reasons:
on set, you speed up filming, as changing film on a camera is trickier than changing a casette/memory card. film can result in a 'hair in the gate' that you don't get on tape. The camera is more complex than a film camera, but a film camera is a very technical piece of kit in it's own right.
Digital distribution and projection are also massively simpler than film, and that is where the film industry sees 99% of the savings it needs to make
