3-D Film Preservation Fund
- 3-D Film Preservation Fund
The "3-D Film Preservation Fund" (or 3DFPF) is a 501(c)3 non profit corporation, dedicated to the preservation of stereoscopic motion pictures. It was formed in 2006 by Jeff Joseph of Sabucat Productions, Robert Furmanek, and Daniel Symmes of Dimension-3.
In September 2006, the 3DFPF hosted the second World 3-D Exposition in Hollywood, California as part of a ten-day festival of 3-D movies, held at Grauman's Egyptian Theatre.
Along with the favorites of the previous exposition were newly discovered features and shorts, and like the previous Expo, guests from each film. Expo II was announced as being the local for the world premiere of several films never before seen in 3-D, including "The Diamond Wizard" and the Universal short subject, "Hawaiian Nights" with Mamie Van Doren and Pinky Lee. Other "re-premieres" of films not seen since their original release in stereoscopic form included "Cease Fire!", "'Taza, Son of Cochise", "Wings of the Hawk", and "Those Redheads From Seattle". Also shown were the long-lost shorts "Carmenesque" and "A Day in the Country" (both 1953) and "Kelley's Plasticon Pictures" (1922), the earliest surviving 3-D film. All new films were restored by the 3DFPF.
