3D is the Next Big Thing in filmmaking. But it's hard to do well. Not only is it necessary to do all the things right, that can otherwise doom a conventional film; it's necessary to use the 3d to support the narrative without making people sick.
Portland is actually a major 3D center. Pacific University studies 3D display fatigue and illness, one of the three major 3D cinema system makers makes glasses here, and there are several 3D medical display makers here.
So cool Cinema 21 has scored a showing of Pina, a documentary about the late avant garde modern dance choreographer, Pina Bausch, who passed while the film was in production. The seminal director of the film, Wim Wenders will be in attendance at tonight's showings. Details on the Cinema 21 website. (Note the film moves to the Living Room theaters next) At Cinema 21 www.cinema21.com 616 NW 21st 7PM and 9:40 $11
