  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Looking at various newspapers, magazines and websites over the period 2004 to the present, it becomes apparent that our understanding of the reintroduction of stereoscopy (D3D) is anything but clear. There are disagreements among accounts of D3D regarding its artistic value, and its impact on the entertainment industry and audience. Over the 2004 to the present period, the digital screen period, I have seen D3D cast as an evolutionary step for the industry: ‘Why wouldn’t we want this Darwinian edge in our workplaces, in our sports and entertainment, in all our peak visual experiences?’ (Cameron in Cohen, 2008). I have seen it described as ‘the next great revolution’ of cinema (Giles & Katzenberg, 2010, p. 10) and as a facilitator of art, one that could aid the audience to enter the realm of the on-screen performer (Wenders in James, 2011, p. 22). I have also seen it described as artistically limited, with claims, such as, director, Werner Herzog’s ‘[that] you can shoot a porno film in 3D, but you cannot film a romantic comedy in 3D’ (Herzog in Wigley, 2011, p. 29). Newspaper headlines have described it as a health concern: ‘3D film strikes two movie-goers with bout of motion sickness’ (Helliwell, 2010, p. 2).2 As well, I have seen arguments expounding the idea that stereoscopy’s reintroduction is simply evidence that the popular film industry lacks ideas. For example, popular film critic, Roger Ebert, has argued that D3D was just ‘[a]nother Hollywood infatuation with a technology that was already pointless when their grandfathers played with stereoscopes’ (Ebert, 2010a).

WUnderstandably captured as we are by local and national issues, and governed by the routines of everyday life, it is important to appreciate constantly other concerns and other voices operating in our world. Cinema is a very eff ective medium for just such a need. To paraphrase the British Film Institute, an organisation to which we are indebted for support every year, we need to listen and learn from the other voices which fl ow from the diverse range of British and international fi lm making past, present and future. From New Zealand to Sweden and from Japan to Brazil, 24 countries are represented in the festival. They provide a wonderfully enjoyable way of encountering the world and its variety of human experiences. From the light hearted (Dough) to the deadly serious (Eye In The Sky), from the female perspective (Aquarius), to the black experience (I Am Not Your Negro), from the classic (La Strada) to the contemporary (My Life As A Courgette), the Festival aims to satisfy as many desires as possible and as many issues as practical. I hope you will all enjoy what you see and hear and continue to support this great event. We look forward to seeing you.

    Istid 3 - Dinosaurene kommer [Blu- ray + DVD] Istid 3 - Dinosaurene kommer [Blu-ray + DVD] For tredje gang inviteres vi inn i Istid-universet - som denne gang er befolket av dinosaurer. Filmen er mer actionpreget enn forgjengerne uten at det gjør Istid 3 mer severdig. Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs Carlos Saldanha, Mike Thurmeier Blue Sky Studios 2009 SF Norge 16:9 Letterbox (1,78:1, 1080p) DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 93 min. 2 3 Dinosaurer på tomgang Istid 3 er den mest besøkte film på norske kinoer i 2009. I skrivende stund har over 800.000 nordmenn løst billett til den tredje historien om de usannsynlige kompisene Sid, Manny og Diego og deres stadig ekspanderende familier. Er det overraskende at Istid 3 troner på kinotoppen i 2009? Tja, jeg hadde nok ikke gjettet det på forhånd, selv om Istid 2 er på listen over de 10 mest sette kinofilmene i Norge noensinne, men gitt markedsføringsmusklene, lanseringstidspunkt og igjenkjenningsfaktoren, så er det forståelig at Istid-sagaen slår godt an. Spiller filmens kvalitet noen rolle i dette bildet? Nei, egentlig ikke. Istid-serien er inne i en dalende kvalitetsmessig kurve i mine øyne, men publikum vil likevel ha mer av det Istid-filmene har å by på.
