I was at this event. The statement that we're in the dark for one hour when watching a 2 hour film is not due to the cuts however. It is due to the fact that film projectors, like film cameras, have rotating shutters which intermittently reveal a frame of film and then obscure it while the next frame advances in the projector. It happens so fast we don't notice it, but it does happen. With digital projectors though, this is not the case. A frame is projected, and then the next frame is immediately shown, with no need for a moment of darkness in order to switch to the next one. So when you watch a movie today, you're not in darkness for any period of time (unless the movies fades to black of course).
