The CineForum

“What I like about The CineForum and Reg Hartt and what makes him a valuable figure is his belief in cinema as a living, breathing thing, something to be enjoyed and argued about, not genuflected at or framed on a wall and revered at a respected distance. In his presentations he refutes the conventional wisdom that films like THE BIRTH OF A NATION (1915), THE BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN (1925), and THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA (1925) are better appreciated as historical artifacts than entertainments. To see KID DRACULA, his show that pairs F. W. Murnau’s NOSFERATU (1922) with Radiohead to surprisingly effective results is to be reminded that the classics were made for the raw public before they were made for cinema studies syllabi. I have rarely felt a film’s greatness in a classroom but I have often felt it at Reg Hartt’s CineForum.”—a cinema studies student.

Following publication an IMAX spokesman sent the following statement:

“We work painstakingly with filmmakers to bring their creative visions to life with the utmost fidelity through the IMAX Experience. When a filmmaker creates specifically for 3D or is deeply involved in a 3D conversion, there are few mediums as immersive and visually arresting. We remain very interested in presenting movies in IMAX 3D when that important mix of filmmaker intent and audience demand is there.”

Filmmaker intent we can know. Audience demand we can’t know without risk.

BLACK WIDOW was released in a 3D Blu-ray format only in Asia, primarily Japan. I ordered it. Happy to show it to anyone who’d like to see it in 3D. It’s great in 2D however i 3D it’s beyond great. It is awesome.–Reg Hartt
