OLD RUSSIAN 3D FILMS UNEARTHED
Some enthusiasts in Russia have unearthed a treasure trove of old film and are beginning it to show it selected cinemas. Russian 3D was different from the early films in France and the US. It was called Stereo Cinema and was created by Soviet inventor Semyon Ivanov. Viewers didn’t have to wear any glasses, but depth was created with a fine wire mesh.
Russians Nikolay Mayorov and Nikolay Kotovosky have restored some of these films from the 1940s and early 1950s. They turned them into digital files and recently exhibited them on a special program at the Moscow International Film Festival.
