Hong Kong/Singapore – Motion Picture Association of America, Inc. (MPAA) chairman and CEO Dan Glickman delivered the industry address to delegates attending the 2008 3D Film & Entertainment Technology Festival (3DX). Speaking to an international audience of film exhibitors, distributors and industry representatives at the GV Max Hall at Golden Village VivoCity, Glickman commended the international gathering, saying that it was confirmation of the dawn of a new era, an era filled with possibility, fuelled by innovation and which will advance the timeless and global art of storytelling through the unique and profound medium of film. Glickman also highlighted the enduring power of movies, the increasingly global nature of filmmaking and the technology-driven frontier of the movie-going experience. “I believe the extraordinary innovation we have seen here on display barely scratches the surface of the innovation that lies before us. The future remains a mystery – and at times thrilling one to ponder – as so many filmmakers do,” said Glickman. “But today holds so much promise for this artform, for the filmmakers who make it so meaningful to our modern lives, and for the industry that makes it possible and shares it with the world.” The 3DX Festival is the first-ever international film festival with a focus on stereoscopic 3D content and technologies, and comprised a business forum, film festival, public screenings and a gala red carpet event.
