3D Mania: Encounter in the Third Dimension takes audiences to the Institute of 3D Technology, where an intelligent yet bumbling professor tries his hand at creating his own 3D innovation, dubbed Real-O-Vision. Audiences will encounter early incarnations of the third dimension, from a re-creation of one of the earliest 3D movies ever made to classic clips from Hollywood’s original 3D heyday of the 1950s.

Length: 19:00 and 38:00
