John McElwee/Greenbriar Picture Shows – October 3, 2013 The 3-D Film Archive will be restoring GOG for 3-D Blu-ray release by Kino-Lorber in late 2015!

Moore's Movie Madness Leonard Maltin Media Mikes Stuart Galbraith IV - DVD Talk Welcome to the 3-D Film Archive LLC, the first organization dedicated to saving and preserving our stereoscopic film heritage.  Founded in 1990 by award-winning producer, author and motion picture archivist/historian Bob Furmanek, the 3-D Film Archive has located and restored original dual-strip 35mm Polaroid prints of more than thirty features and two dozen shorts from 1922-1955, the “Golden Age” of 3-D cinema. After 24 years of working to save and restore these rare films, we are about to share our three-dimensional treasures with the world! We own exclusive worldwide rights to several copyrighted features: Arch Oboler’s THE BUBBLE (1966) is an eerie science fiction tale of several people trapped in a mysterious town; DRAGONFLY SQUADRON (1954) is an exciting Korean War drama which has never been seen in 3-D; EL CORAZON Y LA ESPADA aka THE SWORD OF GRANADA (1953) is a costume adventure in Spanish starring Cesar Romero and Katy Jurado. We
also own archival 35mm materials on several hours of shorts, tests, trailers
and cartoons dating back to the dawn of stereoscopic cinematography. They
include Kelly's Plasticon Pictures: THRU’ THE TREES, WASHINGTON D.C., the
earliest extant 3-D demonstration film from 1922 with incredible footage of
Washington and New York City; Lumiere’s “L’Arrivée d’un Train” first shown at the Academie des
Sciences in Paris in March 1935; NEW
DIMENSIONS (aka MOTOR RHYTHM) the first domestic full color 3-D film
originally shown at the New York World’s Fair in May 1940; THRILLS FOR YOU, a fascinating promotional film for the Pennsylvania
Railroad, first shown in May 1940 at the Golden Gate International Exposition
in San Francisco; BOO
MOON, an excellent example of color
stereoscopic animation from December 1953; DOOM
TOWN, a controversial anti-atomic testing film which was mysteriously
pulled from theatrical release after a few play-dates in July 1953; THE MAZE coming attraction trailer with
fantastic 3-D production design by the legendary William Cameron Menzies, and
many more. These rare and historic shorts will be released by Flicker Alley on 3-D Blu-ray in 2015! Please note that none of our films are in the red/blue anaglyphic format. They will all be seen in their original and vastly superior polarized 3-D versions. Presented in high quality digital 3-D, all films in the Archive have been restored and mastered in HD from original 35mm elements for optimum quality. Meticulously re-aligned shot by shot for precise registration of the original left/right elements, our historic 3-D films have never before looked this good! Contact us for additional information on our vast library of vintage 3-D materials, including posters, lobby cards, pressbooks and stereo slides from the Golden Age of 3-D movies.
