ANIMALS AND THE TOLLKEEPER 

Tuesday, April 15--------Today at the Palm Beach International Film Festival, filmmakers and industry representatives will be among the first in the world to preview an amazing new technology: 3D TV and displays that do not require any special glasses. CEO/Visionary/inventor Fernando Delmau of XES (Xtreme Electronics Systems) along with Sean McKee, CEO of distributor Screen Time Images will be on hand at the Delray Beach Marriot to introduce what's next after the HD revolution.

To be shown will be numerous examples, including scenes from the film ANIMALS WITH THE TOLLKEEPER, which premiered Monday night, starring Mickey Rooney, Tim Roth, John Turturro, Road Steiger, Barbara Bain and an all star supporting cast. That film's award-winning cinematography is amazingly enhanced by this 3D visual technique that will soon be available for television broadcast.

In addition to a 50" screen and a special 3D laptop, a 'vertical' 3D display will be shown, which lays flat on a table and projects 3D upwards.

Since this technology is the future of filmmaking, filmmakers will receive tips and techniques for shooting live action in 3D, as well as details on converting existing material to this new format. Ideas will be presented for applications and uses of the technology, and a Q&A session will follow.
