Space Junk 3D Receives Grand Prize at Dimension 3 Festival



The Dimension 3 Festival wrapped up last week in Saint-Denis, France where some 100 films from more than 15 countries competed for prizes and 35 were selected for the final stage of the competition. Prizes were awarded for the best works of each of the nine categories, as well as a Grand Prize, a Special Award, a Jury’s Coup de C ur, a UP3D prize for best stereoscopy and a prize for Creativity. Grand Prize was awarded to Space Junk 3D, which was directed Melissa Butts, produced by her and Kim Rowe and shot by stereographer Reed Smoot, ACS.

The Jury’s Coup de C ur went to La minute du petit écrin, directed by François Vogel, produced by La Bouée Bleue and shot by stereographer Hugo Barbier. This series of six short films illustrates five major themes: movies, music, performing arts, literature and sports.

The Creativity Award for Stereoscopic Innovation was awarded to Strip Tease Volcanique, directed by Régine Cirotteau, produced by Antoine Simkine and Carole Mirabello. In the film a woman smokes a cigarette, which takes her to a visual and musical journey between exploration of the intimate and volcanic eruption.

The Technical Award, a UP3D prize went to J’adore ça, directed by Sophie Blanvillain, produced by Marie De Lussigny, Stéphane Lehembre, Emmanuel Legrand, Yov Moor, Jean-François Boyer, with stereography by Hugo Barbier.
