FILMMAKERS have been trying to make the perfect 3D movie for more than a century, but not always in Hollywood.
Australian director Philippe Mora has found two Nazi propaganda films shot in 3D while searching through Germany’s Federal Archives.
The two black-and-white movies were made in 1936 and referred to as “raum film”, or “space film”. They each run for half an hour.
“The films are shot on 35mm — apparently with a prism in front of two lenses,” Mora told Variety.
“The quality of the films is fantastic. The Nazis were obsessed with recording everything and every single image was controlled — it was all part of how they gained control of the country and its people.”
Mora was scouring the archives for material for his new documentary on Nazi Germany, and believes more 3D footage will be found.
One of the films is a musical, titled So Real You Can Touch It, featuring close-ups of sizzling bratwurst, Variety reported.
