The Ultimate Wave Tahiti 3D is a 45 minute film created by Canada’s own Stephen Low Productions.

As their quest unfolds, the audience is plunged beneath the surface of things, to explore the magic of Tahiti, the life of the reef and the hidden forces at work shaping ocean waves and the islands that lie in their path. Hailing from Montreal, Director Stephen Low is one of Canada’s most experienced filmmakers, bringing to his work a unique storytelling vision and an understanding of the language and tremendous possibilities of 3D cinema. -

The Info-Immersive Modalities of Film Documentarian and Inventor Roman Kroitor
The Info-Immersive Modalities of Film Documentarian and Inventor Roman Kroitor by Graeme Hamish Langdon A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Information Faculty of Information University of Toronto © Copyright by Graeme Hamish Langdon 2012 The Info-Immersive Modalities of Film Documentarian and Inventor Roman Kroitor Graeme Hamish Langdon Master of Information Faculty of Information University of Toronto 2012 Abstract In this thesis, it is argued that Canadian film documentarian and inventor Roman Kroitor’s lifework is structured by simultaneous appeals to the realist and reflexive capacities of film and animation. It is shown that the diverse periods in Kroitor’s lifework (including documentary film production at the National Film Board of Canada; co-invention and development of the large-format film apparatus, IMAX; and software design for computer animation in stereoscopic 3D) are united by a general interest in facilitating immersive audience experiences with documentary information and evidentiary entertainment. Against those who have conceptualized cinema as functioning like a frame or a window, this thesis analyzes Kroitor’s diverse work in relation to Gene Youngblood’s conception of “expanded cinema” (1970). It is argued that Kroitor’s efforts in film and invention constitute modalities that actively eschew the architectonic limits that typically characterize the cinematic experience. ii Acknowledgments The realization of this thesis would not have been possible without the assistance I received from a number of people. First, I would like to thank my supervisor, Juris Dilevko, for his encouragement throughout the project. Second, I would like to thank my examining committee, David Harris Smith and Neil Narine, for their interest in the project and their insightful comments. -
