MORE ABOUT THE LA 3-D CLUB AND ITS UPCOMING FESTIVAL

scaled.3dfest.jpg

Every year the LA 3-D Club (SCSC) presents a film festival to showcase independently produced stereoscopic 3-D films from around the world. This year marks the 8th Annual LA 3-D Movie Festival, to be held on May 14-15 ( www.LA3DFest.com ).
As a prelude to this year’s fest, meet the organizers as they present award winning films from prior years, and join 3-D film historian Ray Zone for a presentation on the surprising history of stereoscopic 3-D photography and filmmaking.
“Hollywood studios aren’t the only ones producing 3D movies. The LA 3-D Movie Festival
showcases independent 3-D movies made by filmmakers from all over the world. These
creative 3-D filmmakers have developed their own solutions to produce stereoscopic motion
pictures that frequently are more innovative than the work of the big studios.” – Ray Zone
The LA 3-D Club (Stereo Club of Southern California) was established in the Greater Los
Angeles area in 1955 by a dedicated group of 3-D stereo photographers to further
the art and science of stereoscopic photography. For more than five decades members
have been meeting monthly to share 3-D images created through classic slide photography,
computer generated stereo imaging, digital photography and stereoscopic 3-D video. For
