Habitat

Habitat is a 1997 science fiction film produced for the direct-to-video market and shown on the Sci Fi Channel. The film’s message is largely one of ecological warning, mixed with science fiction elements of genetic engineering, family angst and redemption. It is the only theatrical movie filmed in Sony’s early analog High Definition format. Sony donated the equipment and technical support in an attempt to popularize the format. The High Definition video was then transferred to film for release. The film won a Global Film Critics Award for Best Cinematography.^[1]
