Every month this year we are screening and discussing a film from 2000-09 which stands out as in some way redefining the second century of cinema. Get involved in Decalogue by watching and reading about our reasons behind choosing our Decalogue Films & Events, having your say by commenting in The Soapbox, and sharing your personal Movie Memory of the decade.
Regardless of what anyone thought about Avatar it effectively made cinemas buy into 3D as a reality for the modern film experience. James Cameron waited 15 years to film his sci-fi epic so technology could catch up with his vision – and the result is the most ambitious 3D film ever released. Since then directors such as Herzog and Scorsese have started working in 3D. Film industry consultant Michael Gubbins and cinematographer Terry Flaxton will introduce the film and discuss the emergence of 3D: is it the future of cinema? Or just another Hollywood experiment, an obsolete fad? As we conclude our year-long reflection on the previous decade we look forward to what the future of cinema might look like.
