3x3D tries to answer important questions: is 3D only designed for blockbusters and genre films? Can we go beyond its fairground side? Can it be useful for auteur, experimental cinema?
Peter Greenaway (english), Jean-Luc Godard (french-swiss) and Edgar Pêra use the excuse
of celebrating the 2000th birthday of the city of Guimarães (Portugal) to work on the topic with panache through three short films. Today's 3D uses depth of field and Greenaway and Godard's essays tackle the ideas of superimposition and overlapping of images. Greenaway’s Just in Time is a visit through Guimarães' past that's full of traps. It mocks information overload, the vanity of knowing all, sat on a deceptively touristic journey on a ghost train,
a sensorial trip among images that are neither alive nor dead. Godard's The Three Disasters sketch are what a Histoire(s) du Cinéma in 3D could well be. From beyond the grave,
the director of King Lear reads and writes his own history of images by juxtaposing the mundane and the grandiose, by striking with his final maxims and his very personal humor
(with a camera filming a camera). 3D thickens his film like a mist, a stockpiling of memories that are almost unbearable. Edgar Pêra concludes the triptych with Cinesapiens, another history of cinema in a more playful way. What if cinema was turning us into a new species, watching and acting at the same time? From Plato’s Myth of the Cave to B-movie sci-fi,
Pêra reminds us with a smile of the human condition in darkened rooms: being together,
sitting, looking up. 3x3D = many ideas.
