Abstract

Cinematographic art in the 21st century will continue to be produced according to the inherent relation with technology that marks all of its history, since 1895. Continuous technical achievements - such as synchronised sound, stereophonic sound, the use of color, panoramic screen, and Cinemax - have been present in the social use for a 19th century device all along the 20th century, following specific political and economic conditions. At the present, new tendencies are defined by the concepts of home theater and 3D projection on stadium-like theaters, which point to a radical confluence of the audiovisual possibilities created by digital media, toward a future where the diffusion of events, theater, opera, cinema and games might converge, maybe utilizing some type of holographic imaging.

Because of the fast pace of technical evolution, we face now the possibility to consider the aesthetical implications of 3D cinema, and also which would be from now on the relation between the notions of cinema and film regarding new technologies, particularly in reference to three-dimensional projection.
