3-D Rarities

The documentary includes notable selections like Kelley's Plasticon Pictures, the earliest extant 3-D demonstration film from 1922, featuring remarkable footage of Washington and New York City. New Dimensions, originally shown at the World’s Fair in 1940, stands out as the first domestic full color 3-D film. Other highlights include Thrills for You, a promotional film for the Pennsylvania Railroad, and Stardust in Your Eyes, showcasing a comedic performance by Slick Slavin.

3-D Rarities also presents the trailer for The Maze, known for its striking production design by William Cameron Menzies, along with Doom Town, an anti-atomic testing film that faced controversy and was pulled from release. Additionally, the documentary features puppet cartoon The Adventures of Sam Space in widescreen and I’ll Sell My Shirt, a burlesque comedy that had not been seen in 3-D for over 60 years. Boo Moon exemplifies color stereoscopic animation, rounding out this diverse collection.
