Beyond the Frame – introducing Fulldome #Melbourne #Planetarium #geekgirl

MELBOURNE – INDUSTRY SCREENING

The emergence of ‘destination cinema’ and the proliferation of large-format screens in public spaces present a challenge – and opportunity – to filmmakers working in traditional screen formats. At the very least a new cinematic language is required, one that takes account of the audience’s very different experience of stories presented on large-format, ‘frameless’, screens.

Fulldome is such a format, presenting large-scale immersive experiences on hemispherical screens. However, unless you have the chance to experience this for yourself, it’s almost impossible to grasp its immersive power and story-telling potential.

Where: Melbourne Planetarium @ Scienceworks, 2 Booker Street Spotswood, VIC 3015. When: 4pm – 5pm, Monday 9 August 2010. What: Beyond the Frame – FREE admission, but bookings are ESSENTIAL to wlawrance@museum.vic.gov.au
