The third annual 3D Film Festival (3DFF) is shifting its new permanent home to The Los Angeles Film School (LAFS) at 1641 N. Ivar Ave. in the redesigned Sunset and Vine district of Hollywood.
The four days of events from Sept. 30 – Oct. 3, spread out over five city blocks, will include screenings and red carpet premieres at the LAFS’s new RealD 3D-enabled screening room with Sony Electronics providing its 4K digital cinema projector.
Presented by LAFS and RealD, the exclusive 3D technology provider for the festival screenings, and produced by 3D live event pioneer The Dream Factory, 3DFF has the support of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and City Council Member Eric Garcetti’s Office.
“The 3D Film Festival celebrates the latest in film technology, ensuring Los Angeles remains on the cutting edge, and by working with the LA Film School, this festival will help to keep the film industry where it belongs — in Hollywood — for years to come,” Garcetti said in a statement.
The new W Hollywood Hotel is the official hotel of 3DFF.
The LAFS theater will also function as a classroom for 3DFF’s 3D Academy educational programs offering intensive training classes for 3D stereoscopic filmmakers and technicians. Beginning in 2011, LAFS will offer a 3D course of study for its students. The highlight of the 3D Academy program will be the “72 Hour 3DFF Short Film Festival” in which LAFS students will be given 72 hours to create a 3D short film that will be presented during the 3DFF Closing Night Event and Award Show.
“Hosting the 3DFF is the perfect opportunity to embrace this exciting technology of tomorrow,” said Diane Cerycz-Kessler, Co-Chairman of the LAFS.
3DFF will announce its full line up of nightly screenings this August to include the 3ology Short Film Program and a nightly 3D Horror Film Showcase at Midnight.
The 3D Academy Sessions will be daily from 8am to 3pm at Los Angeles Film School. The 3D Lounge will be open daily from 10am to 5pm at the Los Angeles Film School.
