There is a scene in which Ryan Gosling & Emma Stone are walking along a street. They pass by a movie that is being shot. The equipment (like lights, etc.) looks old and classic. Why is that?

This type of equipment is still in use today. I live in a neighborhood in Los Angeles where many things are filmed. (We receive flyers from FilmLA saying there will be a shoot next Tuesday on your street and traffic will be stopped for 2 minutes at a time during shooting... etc.) I have sometimes seen lights like those being used in the last 5 years. I don't think they usually shoot with actual film, but I don't often see the cameras.

Yeah, we were still using these lights at school, too... the new LEDs are starting to take over but they're really expensive.– CatijaMay 30, 2017 at 15:27
