3:30-5:30PM Keynote
Thomas Elsaesser – The Return of 3D: Revolution, Retrenchment or Panic Reaction?
PhD, Professor Emeritus University of Amsterdam
It is generally assumed that Hollywood’s massive push of 3D over the past two years is a response to the intensified competition from rival media platforms and in order to raise the bar for piracy and other forms of copyright infringements. This paper argues for a more complex – and contradictory – sets of agendas, where the traditional interest in spatial vision among avant-garde artists and filmmakers, the industrial uses of 3D and the objectives of mainstream cinema overlap, interact and cross each other, suggesting that some of the underlying issues around 3D require a wider horizon of analysis, in order to become comprehensible.

Presented by Marta Braun, Ryerson University
