The World 3-D Film Expo returns to the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood from September 6-15, 2013. The ten-day festival pays tribute to the 60th anniversary of what many film historians regard as the “Golden Age” of 3-D, and will include screenings of the John Wayne western HONDO, the Vincent Price horror film HOUSE OF WAX, Cole Porter’s musical KISS ME KATE, sci-fi thriller IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE, and even later 3-D films such as 1983’s JAWS 3-D. In-person guests for the Expo include actresses Piper Laurie (DANGEROUS MISSION), Kathleen Hughes (THE GLASS WEB), Julie Adams (THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON), Barbara Rush (IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE), Lea Thompson, Bess Armstrong and actor Louis Gossett Jr. (JAWS 3-D), actress Claudia Barrett and actor Gregory Moffett (ROBOT MONSTER), producer Walter Mirisch (THE MAZE), Stefan Droessler of the Munich Film Museum, and more.
The LA 3-D Club will be assisting with the presentation of the not-to-be-missed “3-D Rarities” program on Saturday, Sept. 14!
The World 3-D Expo has been called “a Woodstock for movie geeks” by film critic Leonard Maltin. Organized by Jeff Joseph of SabuCat Productions, the Expo was first presented at the Egyptian Theatre to sold-out crowds in 2003 and again in 2006. “The technical demands of presenting 3-D cinema and the increasing difficulty of finding prints means that for many of the films presented, this may be the last time they are ever screened in this format” says producer and programmer Jeff Joseph.
