"At Sea with 3D: Cinema's Changing Dimensions and Horizons" --
The relative success of 21st c. 3D, after its failure in the 1950s (examined via Bazin), encourages a closer look at the intervening years for indications of changes in film style that address the relation to the spectator. The talk moves all too swiftly across several decades searching for developments and comes to rest, surprisingly enough, on the 1970s when 3D had disappeared. But new forms of camera vision had been introduced. Those forms, associated with marine photography, ultimately find their champion in Ang Lee and his LIFE OF PI.
