3D Film Festival

In September 2010, 3DFF successfully curated the first International 3D Film Festival & Market in Hollywood. With more than 12,000 attendees over a 4 day period, and spanning five city blocks, 3DFF executed a first class “Free to the Public” program that was enjoyed by a wide variety of both consumers and VIP Industry and Invited Guests.

Through its biannual and touring festival programs, “3DFF” pays tribute to and honors the companies, technologists, and content creators, who have in the past and are currently pioneering the future of the 3D stereoscopic motion picture and video game industries. “3DFF” is committed to educating both studio supported and independent filmmakers and game creators so that they may more effectively learn to utilize the latest 3D technologies in order to reach their highest levels of achievement within their respective fields.

With the L.A. Film Fest having decamped for downtown, 3DFF hopes to become a marquee event for the rising Sunset & Vine district around the W Hollywood hotel, which serves as the fest’s official hotel and will be a venue for some fest activities.

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is supporting 3DFF and L.A. city councilman Eric Garcetti is on the 3DFF board. Other board members include Julie Briggs, the Hollywood Palladium; Angela Gyetvan, 3ality Digital; Jason Goodman, 21st Century 3D; Jon and Peter Shapiro, Spectacle 3D, Ethan Schur, TDVision Systems; and Bill Heavener, Diane Derycz-Kessler and Dave Phillips of the L.A. Film School.
