U2 3D

The Jameson Dublin International Film Festival is delighted to present the European Premiere of U2 3D. For over a quarter-century, U2 has been recognised not only for their musical invention, but for their incomparable gift for reaching millions of fans through new technologies. Their live shows immerse concert-goers in multi sensory experiences: whether through their ground breaking use of video screens or, more recently, the use of dimensional, lighted-bead video curtains. U2 3D – the first digital 3D, multi-camera, real-time production – reflects the band’s long-standing embrace of technology, its recognition that digital 3D isn’t a developing platform – it’s fully here – and its belief that U2 3D has the potential to be as revolutionary for digital 3D as The Jazz Singer was for talkies. Marrying advanced digital 3D imagery and 5.1 Surround Sound with the unique excitement of a live U2 concert, U2 3D takes viewers on an extraordinary cinematic journey, a quantum leap beyond traditional concert films. Filmed during the South American leg of the band’s “Vertigo” tour, U2 3D captures the exceptional performances on-stage during the band’s concert in Buenos Aires. The film portrays the passionate reactions of 80,000 fans from nine digital 3D camera systems as well as the exuberant on-stage dynamic between U2’s Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jnr, as they incite and inspire their massive audience. A 3ality Digital production, directed by Catherine Owens and Mark Pellington, U2 3D takes a performance by the band U2, winner of 22 Grammy Awards and 8 Brits, into a totally new film dimension.
