3 Days of 3-D is Coming Soon!

Bob Furmanek · 02-13-2004, 01:00 PM

We are proud to announce the 3 DAYS OF 3-D Film Festival at the
historic Lafayette Theatre in Suffern, New York, on February 27-28-29,
2004.

3 DAYS OF 3-D will present 10 of the best classic films made during
the 1950s in the miracle of Third Dimension, including KISS ME KATE,
CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON, DIAL M FOR MURDER, IT CAME FROM OUTER
SPACE, GORILLA AT LARGE, INFERNO, MISS SADIE THOMPSON, ROBOT MONSTER,
GUN FURY and HOUSE OF WAX. You'll see big stars such as Rita Hayworth,
Vincent Price, Grace Kelly, Rhonda Fleming, Rock Hudson, Howard Keel,
Donna Reed, Kathryn Grayson, and Raymond Burr all so close that you'll
feel you can reach out and touch them! Also on each program will be a
selection of ultra-rare 3-D short subjects, including ones with Bugs
Bunny, The Three Stooges, Casper the Friendly Ghost, and many more.
All films will be presented in authentic dual-projector, synchronized
3-D with polarized glasses (not red & blue anaglyph)!

The Lafayette Theatre is a vintage, fully-renovated 1000-seat 1924
movie palace and was one of the first theatres in Rockland County
equipped to show 3-D films in mid-1953, but hasn't shown a 3-D film
since October of that year. All of these films will be presented in
genuine, double-system 3-D - the best method of all - using special
Polarized viewing glasses and two projectors running with interlock
synchronization. Important note: We will not be showing any 3-D films
in the inferior anaglyph system (red & blue glasses) that you might be
familiar with from Spy Kids 3-D. The polarized method of 3-D
presentation assures you of bright and clear images with no color
distortion! We are proud to be the only movie palace on the East Coast
to bring a full weekend of dimensional entertainment to you.

Advance money-saving multi-show tickets are available NOW on the
website: Friday Night Passes are $15, Saturday and Sunday All-Day
Passes are $30 each. The Full Festival pass is $65. Advance passes
also give you priority seating for each show before the general
public! Individual tickets are priced at $8.00 for each show and will
be available at the Lafayette Theatre Box Office and on the internet
(after January 1).

Wow.

If I lived nearby (or had a friend willing to put me up) I might consider taking a 3-day vacation from work!

Very cool, this theater is only like a mile from where I work ! I'll be checking this out.

DaveF · 02-13-2004, 02:27 PM

Sounds really awesome...except you're 340 miles away

Rochester, NY -- it's like a whole different state.

Kyle is like the plain-clothes admin of the forum.

No JAWS?

That is wack.

Bob Furmanek · 02-17-2004, 03:43 PM

No, this event is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the great 3-D boom of 1953/54. That's why all the features and shorts are from the golden age of 3-D film-making.

Jaws would be out of place, and would stick out like a sore shark.

Bob is correct, this festival is celebrating the anniversary of the golden age of 3-D, so no Jaws 3-D. Besides, we're only equipping our booth to run genuine double-system interlock 3-D, not the over/under single strip of the early 80s films.

If you are in the area, be sure to go.

I saw all of these at the World 3-D Expo last year, and the effect was simply astonishing. Yes, even in ROBOT MONSTER!
