Serge Bromberg returns to BAM tomorrow evening to talk about Jackass 3D. Well, not really, but the world famous film specialist/collector/restorer/pianist/other things that make him fascinating will be talking about 3D, specifically its origins. There will be presentations of the films, accompanied by Bromberg on piano, who will also discuss what makes a film like Parade of Attraction so important.
Here’s what on the program:
Musical Memories (1935)
Directed by Dave Fleischer
Grandmother and grandfather are seated in the corner by the fire and listening to music while looking at stereoscopic 3D images. They remember happy moments in their lives and the songs that moved them.
Working for Peanuts (1953)
From Walt Disney
Tic and Tac live next to a zoo and they covet the elephant’s peanuts. They try to steal them, but the elephant and his guardian Donald Duck are very cunning.
Parade of Attraction
This series of experimental documentaries reveals early examples of Russian 3D renderings, with two anamorphic images side by side on the same film.
Motor Rhythm (1940)
Directed by Charley Bowers
A car assembles itself like magic in this animated film.
Stereo Animator (1900)
Directed by René Bunzli
Series of four films that reveal one of the first cinematic attempts at 3D by director René Bunzli. The film was made with a device that used chronograph tape printed on paper.
Falling in Love Again (2003)
This animated comedy unfolds to the rhythms of Marlene Dietrich’s performance of a song from The Blue Angel. It’s a joyous variation on the popular myths and clichés of love.
Knick Knack (1989)
Directed by John Lasseter
The life of a snowman cooped up in a snowball becomes wearisome for one surrounded by knick knacks and objects from sunnier locales in this Pixar-produced short.
