At Pantin's venue Cine 104, the third edition of the international forum on 3D images will be presented by Claude Bartolone, president of the Seine-Saint-Denis department's General Council, and Stephan Faudeux, organizer of Dimension 3. Claude Bartolone welcomed Dimension3 to his district, and took this opportunity to highlight the importance of favorable economic, technical and cultural conditions for the development of digital images in Seine-Saint-Denis. The presence of training institutions (the Ecole Nationale Superieure Louis Lumiere, Les Gobelins, the universities of Paris 8 and Paris 13, the ESIEE, the CIFAP, the EICAR, the IUT of Bobigny et Montreuil ), of a strong scientific community (ATI Arts and technologies for images, L2TI Laboratory for information transfer and processing, the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme Paris Nord ) and of technical industries make the department of Seine-Saint-Denis a favorable ground for fast-growing 3D activities. To take advantage of a potential collaboration with partners such as these, the third international forum on 3D images will be held in Seine-Saint-Denis, from June 2 to 4, 2009. This international forum on 3D images relies on three main events: a series of conferences, an exhibition area and a film festival.

Visitors will be able to discover, test and enjoy the equipment in optimal conditions. The public will see free screenings, an discover Dimension 3 Immersion, the ideal event to find out about 3D video games, new screen technologies or virtual reality environments.
