Eric Kurland: The Link Between Stereoviews and Silent Films

What do carousel horses, vaudeville country rubes, and a cigarette-smoking chimpanzee have in common with silent film cowboys and comedians? Eric Kurland has been researching connections between early 20th century stereoviews and silent films, and will present some of the discoveries from his two-week Stereoscopic Fellowship at the Library of Congress, including 3-D images from the Exhibit Supply Company and the American Mutoscope and Biograph Company.
Eric Kurland is an award-winning filmmaker, Director of the LA 3-D Movie Festival, and CEO of 3-D SPACE. He consults on every stage of 3-D production and postproduction, from development through exhibition. His 3-D clients have included National Geographic, Nintendo, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. He has worked as 3-D director on three music videos for the band OK Go, including the Grammy nominated All Is Not Lost. He was lead stereographer on the Oscar-nominated 20th Century Fox theatrical short Maggie Simpson in The Longest Daycare, and his work on Planet Of The Couches: The Simpsons VR, for Google Spotlight Stories earned an Emmy nomination.
