Ever since its creation, Dimension 3 has been supporting the development and the promotion of all types of stereoscopic 3D contents. We are constantly on the lookout for such contents from all over the world: documentaries, short films, theme park or museum films, scientific demos, music videos and feature films.

The public's enthusiasm for S-3D throughout the world, whether in movie theaters (feature films, live concerts, events), in immersive venues or on TV screens, is feeding the growth of content production. In this context, it made perfect sense for Dimension 3 Festival to start hosting a film competition interesting all types of content . Submitted. Submitted films must make use of stereoscopic 3D technologies, or any other immersive technology, and can be either live-action or animated.
